It's down to two models !!!

So I can get a 2024 brand new leftover ar195 for 41k plus tax/tags. Blue and white

OR... I can get a 2025 ar190 for 40k even plus tax and tags. Black and white

I know the obvious answer is get the AR 195 but I really love that black and white over the blue and white. It's killing me

You already got the answer to the other thread you started the same way. Why start another thread instead of reading what people suggested to you

Not to mention you are excited about getting a new boat! Good Luck with whatever you decide.

I'll throw a monkey wrench in - black looks great until your first scratch and after your first launch. Maintaining black can be a PITA. Regarding the difference in the two boats - depending on your use the supercharger will give you a lot more smiles per gallon if you plan on towing or like to go fast. Until you're at the pump and feeding it high test 91 gasoline.

Any chance you'd want to move up to a larger boat with the NA 1.8s in the 22' size? We originally looked at the 19' boats and decided to go bigger to the 21' boat. Now I wish I would've bought at 24' boat - because people and gear will take up space really quick!

Get the 195, then wish you went for the 210!

But seriously, go with the color you like. I didn't get a choice with the silver/black combo I have. I put the work in at the beginning of the season, polish and wax and then wax some more and it looks great all year. And let's face it, you're the only one that's going to notice the imperfections.

No way, I'm always point and laughing at dings, scraps, and water stains on any black boat - especially Yamahas

I was in the same situation last month. I went with the 2025 AR190 in the powder blue. Wife loves it, plenty of power for what we need and no need to deal with 91 octane and other maintenance with the supercharger. I know we will eventually upgrade to the 200's in 4-5 years, but we are loving the AR190.

Any things you feel you are really missing compared to the 195 ?

Honestly we upgraded almost all of the trim and superficial items the day we got it. Cup holder rings, grab handles, gas cap, seadek on the bottom swim platform, etc.. Our dealer threw all that in for free (we’ve got a great dealer here in Texas). Will upgrade the speakers next month. The engine power has been just fine for us and we saved about 7k. We tested the 195 and yes the power is noticeable when pulling rafts and having tons of people in the boat, but it wasn’t worth it to us knowing we will upgrade in 4-5 years.
