Picked up a 165G with trailer at the end of March for 13,500, 38 hours and looks brand new. Just took it out over Memorial Day weekend and love it! Deal or no deal still glad I made the purchase.

I just got a 2016 165 HO with 17 hours for 20K. Took it out last Saturday for the first time and absolutely love it. I bought it instead of another inflatable tender and I'm very glad I did. Could have sold it dozen times at the marina I keep my boat at. Every person that walked by it wanted to talk about it.

Looking at Yamaha or Scarab here on west coast of Florida Ft,Myers area. I like this new model for 2019 that just cam out
Scarab 255 Open ID (2019-) model for fishing and cruising looks nice. I like the idea too closed loop cooling since I would use in saltwater.

Hmmm your scaring me I just bought a 195 G 2018 and I’m hoping that I have a smooth summer with it
Anthony B -- as far as the maneuvering in no wake zones / at idle type speed , just bump the throttle a tad where you are still clearly idling but the rpms will be elevated enough where the steering becomes much easier. So instead of idling forward at idle speed bring up another 3-400 rpms, makes a world of diff.

If you do anything to your boat invest in an extra battery. No one like being stranded.

I would say you paid a fair price then. mine was a early 2019 and it has a few older features from the 2018 like the Anchor light being on a pole instead of up top on the hard top.

We got a new 2019 165 ID with the options below and 5 year warranty on motor for $33k. Seemed like a good deal to me...other than it is a 16' boat for 30 grand, but ain't none of them cheap these days.
