I’m torn need help! Used low hours 2019 242XE vs a 2021 AR250

The new one is only new until you hit the speed bump at the end of the dealer parking lot... And the brand new one will ding just as easy as the used one when you use it.. Get the one that works best for your needs.
 
Tough choice, both great options. I think I would have leaned toward the 242XE also if I were looking to do a good bit of wakesurfing/wakeboarding. Congrats on the new boat!!!
 
Congrats... there was no wrong answer here!
