This is my first foray into jet boats. I did a bunch of research and went out on the water with a 21 ft 210 model which I liked. But I felt it was a little too small for our bigger, choppy lake, and it only had the 210 HP. My family really liked the setup though so we're looking for 23ft and the high output engine option. Year isn't as important as condition and hours. Models AR230 or AR240.

A few must haves
- no salt water
- under 300 hours
- must include trailer
- excellent interior condition, ie no rips or tears, limited if any sun damage, etc.
- Documented maintenance

I'm in the Spokane, WA area but would drive a few hours to get the right one.

The biggest following seems to be Texas east.. we are in the market and I’m hoping we find something with 500 miles.

Sorry to pick on you, but since this is not a for sale ad thread, but a looking to buy thread from over three years ago, it's fair game.

Here is a sign that the boat market bubble has burst. AR190 sellers are digging up want ads for 23' boats from over three years ago. I guess that sellers market is over if you have to dig that deep.

BTW, Who makes the $7,000 Gore Tex cover? I've never seen one, but curious.
