I made a post previously but I felt like my new boat deserves a new post.

I just picked up a 2016 AR240 - 50hrs, galvanized trailer, tinted windshield, Garmin echoMap dv, JL speakers upgraded throughout plus the previous owner added a JL sub and Yamaha cover for $42,500. I think I got a great deal and I'm officially ready for Bimini 2019!!

Beautiful boat! Out of curiosity which Grand Cherokee are you using to pull it and you happy with it for that size boat? I'm looking at new tow vehicles and while I don't have a 24' boat today that could change someday like it did for you.

I agree what's the ride. I am thinking I'm seeing some red calipers. I can't zoom in close enough to see if it's a srt.

@Lake_Spray @djetok that's my wife's Overland 4x4 - it pulls the AR just fine but I'm in the process of picking up a Nissan Armada right now for towing duties.

She previously had an Explorer 2WD that was fine for the SX190. We towed it 6hrs to Key Largo with 6 people but she wanted something smaller. I really like the Jeep, inside and out. No issues with it so far.

Oh the Armada is definitely a heavy duty hauler, and good looking too. I’m pulling my AR190 right now with a Chevy Traverse and it’s like it barely notices it. Pulled it with a Honda Odyssey minivan for my first season as a new owner and it worked ok but I was really pushing the limits.

It’s too bad though about the Jeep. I really wanted it to be a Grand Cherokee SRT so I had more ammo to convince my wife to let me buy that sports car masquerading as an SUV.
