2019 AR190 for bimini crossing

[B0at1n]

Alright everyone I need some input. As some of you may know I bought my AR190 back almost two years ago now and I have been renting it out to get it paid for after this season the boat will be paid for and at this summers current pace, I should end with 5-10k extra money. Now as we all know once you buy the 19foot boat before the end of your first season you want a bigger boat. I have been eyeballing the Ar240 as my next boat.

So ever since I found this site I have been wanting to make a bimini run. With the extra cash from rentals I will have 5k I could throw to the trip.

so my question/debate in my head.
Should I take he AR190 over or wait untill I get the 240 and take it?

May thoughts for the 190 are that it’s been a rental boat so it will have 3-350 hours on it by end of this summer and it already has its nicks and scratches from being a rental boat. negatives for resell. So why not add the bimini trip pounding plus the “salt water depreciation” since I live in north Texas, people avoid those
After the trip maybe I keep it and rent a season or two longer and pay cash for my 24 foot boat.

or

should I put the trip off another year or two to get the 240 paid for and then take the trip in the bigger boat.

what would you do?

I have a 190 and would make trip with you in yours.
I got rid of my skis and they do it.
I'll do it on a 19".

Okay, I might need another person. Not sure if my wife would be up for it or not. Also have a 2 and 7 year old. So maybe send them over on the ferry or what not and make the trip. Also debating on leaving the kids with my parents to.

I think I’m leaning towards the 190 idea next summer and then when I get my 240 I may want to do it again anyway. Lol
