Where's the guy that was about to buy a $23k AR190? He needs to see this.

*edit*

@cdjeeps25 This is quite a bit more boat than the 190 you were looking at with the aftermarket tower, for not much more money. Not sure where you're located though.

 

[justason]

YES HE DOES !!!!

I am located in Sacramento California, so this is a little bit away from me. A very nice looking boat though, love the "4x4" emblem.

But, what's the value of buying a boat from a member that's been around for 6 years, almost 2k posts and has a relationship with the people here,
You could go back to his history and see any problems or concerns he's had, you'd definitely be able to take the "unknown" factor out the equation,

Agreed. Lots of ways to get it shipped as well. I bet you can get it out to CA for under $2k. Wheres @Betik ? He doing long distance delivery in this current social climate?

 

[justason]

dang this is awesome guys ! The boat is rock solid and without issue. perhaps on of them fancy zoom meetings for a show-n-tell.......may need some youth to show me the tech !

I bought two boats off the "other" forum before this one existed. Saw the history of each boat and bought each boat SIGHT UNSEEN NO WATER TEST. Just sent a check and had 'em delivered. This is the reason if I ever sell mine, it will be gone in a flash to someone else on this site. Of course, so long as it is priced to sell without haggling. Too many folks do not price their boat with the intention to sell but if it is priced right, it is gone quickly. Both my boats were purchased at asking price, as I knew what the market bore, knew the NADA pricing which you must use as a guide especially when buying a used boat, and most important, knew the history of the boat as documented by the seller's forum history.

I agree completely, there is real value there.

I've been looking at 19ft boats because those are the only boats that will fit in my small garage.

pricing a boat appears fairly fluid between the NADA and other sites. I believe in OEM for a price set. Anything the owner adds is basically for him, may help in the attractiveness of the boat, but isnt a price enhancer..example is the tinted windows, seadeck or stereo. that said..this is what i found: comments welcome/encouraged.

she is a sweetheart ! kids are grown, we don't do watersports anymore...and based on the size of our lake a pontoon is plenty..
thanks everyone !

I went to purchase an AR240, and came home with an AR190......for this exact reason. The 19ft fits in the garage and saves us a ton on storage costs. I 100% get that reasoning.

 

[bronze_10]

I followed this boat all the way to bimini and followed it around over there for a week. Flawless boat....the owner? Ehhh. There is room for improvement! Lmao

 

[agannole93]

How big of a difference does the thicker hull make? If you were comparing this to say an '11 SX240?

let me put it this way, in 2017, me and @Water Girl with 2011 & 2012 240 back home with damage, @Bruce on the other hand zero.

No long distance or short distance for me. Numbers have been picking up in Texas and this new infection are before half the states loosed up. Kind of worried a bit and that I might have to cancel our Florida trip in early June.

The fuel cost are low now and people unemployment numbers are high, so it is definitely exploring the shipping.

I could not agree more. I bought our boat from member here. Went to his house on Sunday with a deposit which he did nto take. He said come back with the check, the boat is yours. We did not even start the engines. The first time I heard my engines come to life, I owned the boat already and that was when the previous owner was showing me how to do the oil changes.

@Betik @Bruce I'm interested in this boat, my only hold up is the extra 2-3 feet of boat that a 230/40 gives you to handle the chop and potential Bimini trip in a couple years. Would I be regretting going with a 212 while making the crossing?

The 2013 Bimini trip was the worst crossing conditions I have ever experienced (I've crossed 8 times total) and yes it WAS worse than the 2015 trip conditions, during the 2013 trip @justason 21' easily keep up with my '07 SX230. Since the 21' will make the crossing, to me what size boat you get depends more on your normal boating situation and how many folks you typically haul around.

@justason boat would be a great purchase.

We'll typically have at least 5 of us, but part of that was limitations of our previous I/O. I'd expect we may have as many as 8 or 9 with us when we finally pull the trigger on something, though the normal would probably be 6. I know some people swear 08/09 212's have more space than the 230's, just my biggest fear is wishing we had more boat after purchasing.

With your description I would say go with a bigger boat. Rarely have I heard I wish I went with a smaller boat.
