@DANAD
I just joined this website b/c i watched youtube videos about crossing from ft lauderdale to bimini(which we are going to do) and this website jetboaters.net was on the video. well looking to meet folks to take that trip, but I am in classifieds section now and looking for a boat first

wish list AR230 or 240 i don't want less than 230 because we live in Port Charlotte harbor florida and want to go out into the Gulf of Mexico. in my opinion anything less than 230 is too small.
the 230 will satisfy our needs but the newer models with built in electronics/arch really turns me on
we really like the arch, but will NOT be surfing or wake boarding so balish and racks are not needed
we live on the water and would use it every weekend
my wife wants to spend $15,000...hahahaha there i said it...she is freaking out at buying a boat over $30,000 , but financing is the question in my research, a boat year 2013 or newer i can get 12 yrs financing and older than 2013 the best is 84 months.

to the married men all my wife wants is a 100% working no issues no fixit up boat and it has to be CLEAN AND PRETTY!
SO my wish list is 230 or 240 with a :
  • arch
  • vortex thrusters
  • low hours hummm what does that mean say less than 300
  • trailer
thank you for reading
dana and jennifer devine

You probably shouldn’t post your number and email. This site is visible to anyone, not just members.

Yes this. The edit button is under the little down arrow under your first post if you’re on a phone.

If there is no tower it is an sx230 unless a previous owner took it off. My question would be...Why? If I remember that add correctly, it has engine issues. The price is low for the model and year in the current market, there must be something wrong with it. I just sold an 07 AR230 for $26k a month ago. She was for sale for a week when she sold. Good luck with your search.

Love our AR230. If it doesn’t have the wake tower I assume you’re looking at the SX230 then. Same boat just different model obviously. Do you have photos of the boat or even a link to see it? 150 hours is great, if it runs well..freshwater or salt water use? Decent price in this market but wondering if anything is wrong with it… A water test is a must for any boat you are wanting to buy; checking oil before and after the ride, making sure all switches work, bilge works, etc. Make sure you can get the clean out plugs in and out okay as they are a big nuisance if they are stuck.
