Had a great time on the lake today for the first time. I was worried about how different the boat may handle since I came from an I/O. Not sure if the previous models handle this way . The 2019 is a breeze. Very responsive at high and low speed. Backing up and pulling into a doc is easy as pie. Super happy that I got the chance to do the brakein before it gets too cold in NC. Feel free to make fun of my hat. I'm bold and need all the protection I can get. IMG_20181007_155454492.jpg IMG_20181007_155454492.jpg IMG_20181007_154019464.jpg

Oh man. You took all the fun out of commenting on your hat choice ;)

But hey, glad that you had a good first outing and found the jet easy to operate.

Nice boat! I just took delivery last Saturday on a 2019 AR195. I wish mine could fit in the garage like yours. I was told for 2019, Yamaha changed the tower to fold under the windshield to fit in a standard garage, which they did, only problem is the back of the tower still sticks up above the windshield. Kinda wish I went with the SX now.

Congratulations on the boat, sorry it doesn't fit. I know this may be silly, but can you deflate the tires a bit when putting it in the garage? Pump them up when inside and same when you take it out? I know it's an extra step, but maybe a solution for now?

thanks!! Yea that’s actually what I’m doing to get it in and out. I may replace the trim around my garage door opening with .5 inch instead of the 2 inch the builder put. Doing that I may not have to deflate the tires at all or maybe just a little
