Space in a 190

[4x15mph]

Saw this on another site and it is a great summary of the space on the 19x series. Pretty cool

I don't think the guy is a member here so I am posting it. Credit to the youtube owner!

It's crazy what all he can fit in his boat. I have like 1/4 of that stuff and it can be a chore sometimes digging something out lol.

@Leojay , kudos to an excellent video!

Now I have to try and hide my 4 tommy Bahama chairs... Heck, I have to try and re-arrange my boat storage.

I have the 192 and didn't think I could fit all that stuff in there. I'm with @njmr2fan, time to re-think how I'm storing stuff.

I've been seriously surprised at how much stuff I can fit in our AR190. We had a typical 18'6" runabout before and always felt cramped and "overpacked". Now we have clear walkways all the time, and no shortage of places to put things. It is really one of the things that makes this boat feel so much larger than our last 19 footer. The added beam helps with that as well though.

I really consider (and have had several friends confirm this thought) the Yamaha boats to be "buying up" in terms of what you get for the money. Our 19ft boat doesn't feel like a 19ft boat on the water, it feels like a 21-22ft craft. It does however still tow and store like a 19'er though!

As a point of reference. Here is out "old" boat. 1998 Rinker 182BR. It was a great boat, but its pretty clear when compared to our AR190, there is significantly more space now than before!

Here is the older Rinker

Here is the new AR190 (not a great picture though)

I'm going to update an old post here.

We got absolutely DUMPED on with rain on Sunday of Memorial Day weekend. I currently have EVERYTHING out of the boat and fans in all the storage compartments getting it dried out. Also putting caps on all the cupholders, and resealing the rear cleanout tray while I have everything out of there.......The below garage picture shows how much "stuff" we carry with us on any given day. You can add to this two coolers, a large beach bag, a "backpack" style diaper bag, the oldests RC boat, and 3 small totes of snacks.

I was completely dumbfounded by the amount of "stuff" that I was throwing over the side into the garage floor as I was cleaning out.

Yep!

I learned how to pack my boat after watching this goomba pack his... The amount of STUFF that we pack away on the 190 is incredible. No wonder it doesn't hit top speed with 8 people aboard anymore!!!

We were cleaning out our boat for the first time and were struggling to figure out how to try out all the vests, wet suits, etc. I am going to be stealing your ladder/rope trick here, genius!

Dunno that I would call it genius. Just got to looking around at what I had sitting in the garage and how I was going to make a clothesline out of it.

While I can carry a whole lot of stuff on my 19 SX 190 and love it's fuel consumption, I'm struggling to find a good solution to carry our Hydroslide Versa 2 board ... (basically a ZUP equivalent). 57" long and 27" wide, won't fit in any compartments and has me wishing I had a tower. For now, I've got it in a sock sitting between starboard seat and gunwale. Found a way to mount a rack that mounts in a rod holder, just not sure I'm ready to drill a hole in the 2019 for a rod holder yet... although the rod holder could double up and hold a grill also hmmmm....

You won’t get all of that stuff in a 2019 sx 190! When Yamaha put the hinged seats in they reduced the openings a lot! Tom Brahma chairs, nope won’t fit. It’s the one thing I’m so disappointed in because I was ready for all the storage on these boats that was a big plus over everyone else. Even upgraded coolers don’t fit under the seats.?
