242 L S. Lake was pretty calm no wind drove around for about an hour my wife is concerned about excessive engine noise due to a friend that has a 2007 Yamaha the 2019 boat a lot quieter so we purchased it Kind a wish it had a little more TopSpeed but it’s good enough

I gotta say , im kind of disappointed with the amount of engine noise ( drone , resonance) while at lower speeds on my 2019 AR 240 compared to my older 2006 SR 210

That was my wife’s biggest concern was the engine noise and she was happy with it.

Our 190 is LOUD......about the same volume as our old 4cyl I/O, but the pitch is much higher, making it seem significantly louder.
