Greetings from Warner Robins. Picking up my 2017 243 VRX tomorrow, trading in my Sea Ray stern drive.

Looking forward to the benefits of a jet drive! And learning to wake surf!

I am located in Warner Robins and I am looking at the sx190 or 195 because it will fit in my garage. Just wondering where you found the best deal at? Congrats on the new boat.

Bill,

I traveled to Destin to buy it. I bought my first boat there, too, they seem to have more inventory than GA, hence better deals, IMO. My inlaws live there, so I can time service with our visits.

Looking to get out on Oconee with it tomorrow.

@Seabee We live in Macon (formerly Warner Robins) and have a place on Lake Oconee. Look forward to seeking you on the lake. Nice Boat!

Great! Hopefully headed there today for my first outing. I launch at Long Shoals.
Have you had any issues sucking debris up at the lake?

I sucked up a small twig about three years ago. It should not be a big issue for you on this lake.
