Considering a AR195, Looking for Advice/Input

My AR195 30 hours is for sale

Mind if I ask what you don't like about it, or do you need to shed it for non-boating related issues?

I like everything about it. It was our first family boat and we had an amazing summer. It's fast and spacious and fits in my garage. It also has great resale value. I am selling it because I bought a Moomba Makai. We decided that surfing, size, and weight were very important to us. PNW is always choppy. So basically we just bought our last boat second lol.

Good to know. Thanks. Coming from a Seadoo challenger, how is the maintenance on a 190/195? Looks like the routine stuff is easy, but wondered how often it would need to go to a service center, as there are none convenient to me in Iowa. Love jet boats, but there are 20 places around here that will work on a mercruiser I/O for every place that will work on a jet boat.

Really you can do most of the maintenance yourself. Easy oil changes are all that really need to be done to winterize. Plus some grease a couple places. Change the plugs every year or so.
