What’s a good deal on 2018 AR190 right now? Haven’t been able to find any dealers selling for much less then MSRP + freight + tax + docs. Which makes it paying almost full price and there are no freebies either, other then the coast guard kit.

Question about galvanized trailer? Do I really need it if I’m mostly in lakes, but do plan to hit the coast a couple of times a year. Thanks.

Galvanized trailer frame will last indefinetly. Painted trailer is born with a half life. It will rust eventually. Maybe 5 years, maybe 20... But it will rust.

My humble opinion.

If you ever plan to use the boat in the salt water then yes get the galvanized trailer. The painted one will rust as there are holes in the frame and no way you would ever get all of the salt crystals out of it so it will just rust from within.
