I currently have deposits at a couple of dealers for an AR190 with SX190 as backup. I'm wondering value wise what would be a used model in the same price range, i.e. is there a year range of 21 or 24 foot models that would be a reliable purchase in the same price range? Also, is there a number of hours that should be a line in the sand for any used boats or how many hours are too many if I"m buying used? TIA.
