Got a 2019 AR190 and love everything about it but the lack of power, I should have spent the money on the 195 this yr but oh well live and learn. Since we know we definitely want a 195 I was wondering if there would be any changes in 2020. We are going to wait until next summer regardless if we go with a 2019 or 2020 model. I know some in this group get the inside scoop on the new models.

I think the 19ft models were the most recently updated in the line up. Any changes would probably only be minor or cosmetic.

No idea but I doubt it since they just refreshed it in 2019, some of the upgrades are nice but I’m a bit sad they removed the full wrap around seating.

They didn’t remove the wrap around. On the 2019 AR190?

Are the 19's and 20's that much taller than earlier versions? My stated bridge clearance is 73" (6'1"). The 19's and 20's say 89" (7'5").

I can't imagine that is right. The towers and hulls don't look different enough to make up a 16in height change on the water.

That's what I was thinking. The manuals only indicate the 2019 is 3.1" more in height.

Also, now I'm wondering if the 73" bridge clearance number I've seen is correct. 2018 manual says 102" height and 15.4" draft so that math puts it closer to the '19 and '20 clearance numbers. Odd.

Example of 2018 specs

I can't imagine that is right. The towers and hulls don't look different enough to make up a 16in height change on the water.
