Got mine out and cleaned yesterday. Was still in the 50s so we didn't take it out, but we're ready!

Awesome speakers. Was it an easy install. Do you mind sharing process and cost?
The pods are 7.7 JL with flush mounts. The pods are like $500 something the mounts from JL were like $250. The 7.7s on the swim deck are like $250ish amd $80 to trim the seats down

Nice! Beautiful boat @kwik4u ;)....Need to get mine rolling....Ever wish you had the 20 or 24 footer?
We went to buy an AR240 and came home with the AR190. Storing it in the garage was the deal maker for us. That cost of storage was more than we liked, and I have a hard time leaving a brand new $50k boat in someone else's possession. The smaller boat was less money to purchase, less money to operate, and less money to store. So far we haven't had a day/time/event where we have truly needed more than we have. Sure a little more leg room in the bow would be nice, as wood a little more cockpit room from time to time. Overall we are super pleased with the 190, and anticipate having it for many years to come.

I don’t mind winter, but today is the average day the ice goes out on Minneapolis area lakes. Instead, we got 15” of snow! Picking up my new boat in 18 days, it better be open by then.

No carpet/SeaDek, no bimini, board racks stowed in and electrical cord for the charger still on the floor :D. 80 degrees.... I don't blame ya @Julian !

I was...but had to prioritize getting on the water against spreading 20 yards of mulch, hooking up hoses, hooking up deer sprinklers, cutting down dead bushes, blowing leaves etc etc!

So it was just me and my daughter and a friend....so didn't have my normal copilot!

Wife and I took the boat out this weekend. Water was cold so good excuse to leave the kids home. Stopped at one of the lakeside restaurants, Pelican Pete's, for a drink.

She spent some time getting familiar driving the new boat. She even put the trailer in for the first time for retrieving the boat which was pretty impressive.
