If you are considering an AR190 maybe consider looking at a 2016 as well. As this was the first year they had the forward swept tower.

There should be some good deals right now or coming soon with people losing jobs etc. I bought my 2019 for $23k, no trailer. I had to buy a trailer for $2k...so total was 25k. Then I had to drive 14 hours each way to pick it up, so all in all I have about 27k in it for a boat with 70 hours. I think you should be able to find a low hours 2019 for around 25k to 28k.

If you are patient, then I think you can find what you are looking for a decent price! Just be wary of not getting the title in hand if someone owes money on it. (Yamaha will only mail you the title after it has been paid off in full from the other party). From personal experience I can tell you it can be a disaster and unwanted time spent proving your side lol.

Thanks for your post...That is my thinking as well. Preferably would like to have slightly used 2019 model for a good price paying cash for it ( I understand that new boats depreciate quickly). I own Kawasaki jet ski that I purchased used 10 years ago ( was 2 years old with 30 hours) and it has been great all these years but kids are asking for a boat now!

The guy who sold us our boat spent $33k on it new, and had the Garmin system installed by the dealer ($1k), had 5 service calls including a new battery for regular maintenance to his house so that was another $1k lol. So in 1 year he lost $12k for 70 hours. That's $171 an hour on the water!!!!!! I couldn't get over the fact of buying a new one where the dealer has all the crazy fee's attached as well as paying tax.

I forgot to ask you, what online resources you used to find the boat?
