I have the 195S. The main reason we got it is because we liked the less flashy look. Didn't like the color combos of the AR195 for 2020. I will say the red and black from 2019 was probably the best looking boat they have done! The other reason, the wife wanted her own bucket seat! The other 2 reasons I think it makes a solid choice is the larger Connext screen and the Marine Mat flooring. The smaller Connext screens are pretty small. The Marine Mat flooring is super nice, easy to clean and has an upscale look to boot!

One of the main reasons I sold my 2017 AR195 and am purchasing a 2020 195S is for the second captain chair. When it is just me and my GF on the water, which is a bout half the time, the bench seat frankly stinks for whomever is not driving. I wish the passenger captain chair had the flip up bolster because we like to both sit with out heads above the windshield. I guess I can probably get a bolster cushion that can be placed on the passenger captain chair to raise line of site. Any suggestions on something like this?
