@Gustavo Hidalgo welcome aboard! The SX190 is a great 19 ft boat and a terrific value. My only questions would be what do you expect your primary uses to be? If you plan to spend most of your time inland on the ICW, lakes or river it could be a great fit. If you expect to spend even just 15% of your time or more out in the Atlantic I would look bigger.

Will be use mainly for inlet cruising, sandbars and light fishing. Fuel, low maintenance, a not so much complicated engine but, the deal breaker for a bigger boat the garage size at 19' 20 " not much to choose from.
Will definitely push it into the Atlantic ocean on a calm day.

Welcome @Gustavo Hidalgo glad that you found us. There's a lot of discussion on the 190's. Especially how to squeeze them into the garage. Good luck with your search.

Wow so a lot of 305 and 954 here, I'm relatively new to the forum and to Jet boats. If any of you guys are going to ride the keys this summer let us know were here in Key Largo until August, we are ocean side close to Rodriguez Key.
