2019 AR190 price

[B0at1n]

Hello all,

First, thanks for all the help this forum has provided so far.

I am new to the boating world.

I am looking at a 2019 Ar190 and was wondering if this deal the dealer is offering is worth jumping on now or just waiting until closer to next summer. I am in Texas so possible to boat year round I suppose.

The offer is
AR190 with galvanized trailer
Coast guard package
Anchor package
Shipping cover
Upgraded bow roller on the trailer
Price $35,000 out the door.


Thanks for any help in advance.

If you are in texas with 6.25% tax rate, that price would compare to what I paid for my 2019 SX190 minus the $2,000 msrp difference and a bit...

Thanks for the responses.

Yes, my price does includ the 6.25% tax

They are selling the boat at $32,477
Rigging 293
Doc fee 175
Registration 200
Tax 2104.95

I’m debating on buying now or waiting until March or April. Do you think I’d really get any better of a deal?

I was thinking of using it during the winter months since There is no winterization needed. Maybe get the first ten hours knocked out before summer.

Besides cruising what do people primarily do during this time. I have a 1 yr old and 6 yr old.

Thanks for the advice.

We do date nights in the winter. Often times we'll get an air temp spike into the 70's a few days during the winter. If it hits on a weekend we'll give the kids to the grandparents for a few hours, put the boat on the Ohio and cruise up/down river to a resteraunt. Spend a little time away from people and on the water and have a nice little date.

Not much for the little ones to do without swimming, unless they just like riding around. With a 1yr old, I would probably just leave it on the trailer. We have a 5mo old that has been boating since he was 6wks old back in May. He's only been in the water once in August, under heavy shade, and then only for a few minutes. Our 7yr old has been in/on the water since he was ~9mo old (born in late July and on the water next spring)/ Once he could "toddle" he would be in the water all day with us. Without swimming/tubing/playing in the water, the little ones get bored in a hurry on the inland lakes. The 7yr old can survive a few hours on the boat without getting in....IF we have something to look at, and we keep moving.

Great ideas, I don't know if we have any restaurants on the lake here but packing a lunch and going for a ride could be fun with the kids. when the older one gets board the iPad will distract her no matter what she is doing! We usually have a fair amount of warm weather days randomly here in Dallas.

Wife and I have been discussing possibly Fishing and I was thinking of building a Casting platform for the bow of the boat with maybe a trolling motor attached to it, so its all removable.

Dealer Should have the boat in this week and if I can get them to throw in either the Yamaha mooring cover or the Wakeboard racks for the tower, I am going to pull the trigger!

Hopefully I am boating this weekend!

Just remember.....a boring day on the boat beats any day pretty much everywhere else.
