What might be in store for 2023?

Fully agree with your statement on the AR engines.

 

[MT FSH]

Yep, there it is $93,799 for the 255 FSH…

Disappointed in the TR-1's In the Base FSH and AR220. More so in the AR220. With the added weight it is going to feel sluggish. I would have liked to have sign a couple more grand on the price and throw in the in the 1.8's. Unless the new hull design mitigates some of that.

Now with that said the Larger gas tank is a huge plus. I would be interested to see with the range is on them.

They are not going to give you the 1.8s and 3 feet of boat for $10,000 more than the 19', you will need to look at the 222's

They gave you 9" of boat and healthy price increase. Unless there is some other mitigating factor that will be a mid 30's boat with an average compliment and at altitude it may not crack 30. Not sure how that is going to fair. For $55k plus all the dealer fees, it will be in the low 60's. I don't see that as a winner.

The FSH is a purpose boat so I don't think it will be as affected.

They need an entry level 22' with the 1.8's. Just like the AR250. And it would be a huge hit. Just price it accordingly.

It wont be a fan favorite for sure..

Website says 12 inch screen on every 22 but its only on the 2 higher end units

Just like last year, gonna take a while to sort all the errors

I got excited when I saw it on the AR220 but then the picture showed differently I felt that was a solid addition to that boat.

Ar250 at 70plus grand, not a bargain for sure

Still loving my 16 ar240 more, not enough innovation to justify the high prices and upgrade.
Boats paid for and still puts a smile on my face every day i am out on her

Love my 240 too....but they are definitely getting smarter on the gas tank sizes!

Knowing what I know now on how we use the boat and plan to continue to use the boat, I would have purchased the 24' in 2020.

I dont mind the 50 gallons because we dont burn much fuel or go long distances

I was just doing the math. On the AR220 it is 310lbs heavier plus an additional 20 gallons which would be another 120 lbs, so basically it is an additional 430lbs with same engines as the previous AR210. That is like 3 extra adults in my boat all the time.

Gonna be a dog, definitely no rocket ship

I mean, it will do watersports easily even loaded up and should get a great range with the 70 gallon. But if you are looking for a mid 40's boat out of it, or to hit 40 loaded that it won't do. Loaded up I can it 37 mph not much above sea level and I max out at 43.5 with 2 and a half tank of fuel, bimini down.

Yup....if you want more speed you'll want the 1.8HOs in the higher end models.

And much lighter wallet

I guess to be fair, around here if you aren't going to do go in the Great Lakes and have to do long runs, the average lake size, and we have 100's and 100's of them is between 600 acres and 1000'acres with a speed limit of 40 mph which they do enforce. So you are basically going maybe a mile or two max depending on the shape of the lake. The AR220 would be a great boat.

Well I think the winner is the 222 FSH Sport with the Twin 1.8's, 75 Gallon Tank, and 3,450 lbs, with the new design. For $63k and the Hard top, It looks fantastic. That is one nice boat. Throw it on a Galvanized trailer and it would be perfect. A lot to like about it as a dual purpose boat.
