Another Texan with new AR240

[Minh Nguyen]

Hi all! First post here but have been reading a lot on here. It's been about a month since our purchase and we are almost at the break in hours. Prior boat was a 2012 AR190 and geez what a big (literally!) difference. Love the extra space, quietness, power difference, and of course the looks. We went with the white with graphics. I now have a long list of mods to do thanks to this forum! Love this place! Anyhow, we boat on Joe Pool lake so maybe we'll see some of you guys out there. Happy boating!

Awesome boat. Congratulations.

looks awesome, I'm debating going larger, but might wait a few years.

Thanks guys. We loved our 190. Super easy to launch and retrieve. Plus it fits nicely in our garage. This one requires a bit more planning with each outing. I'm happy either way, just being out on the water with the family.

Congrats and welcome to the forum! Gotta love the kids smiles!!!!

 

[Minh Nguyen]

Thanks! Both my bigger kids enjoyed riding on the surfboard with me. Working on going rope less soon.

Glad to have you on board, I know a Minh Nguyen and was really confused for a minute but he's in Fort Worth, get the kids a knee board, it's an easy way to get them used to being pulled by the boat,

 

[Minh Nguyen]

Thanks! Yeah need to do some shopping and a knee board is on the list lol.

Welcome @Minh Nguyen! Sweet looking boat. Thats a great photo of you surfing with your son! I wanna try that!

 

[Minh Nguyen]

Thanks! That was our first time on a surfboard ever. I thought they'll be a lil scared but they had fun and kept asking to go again. You should definitely try it!

Congrats and welcome, not too sure on your choice of color though , your gonna love it, best by far .

 

[Minh Nguyen]

Thanks guys.

Wife is ok towing but once we get in to the marina it's all me. She gets nervous around the docks and other boats. I've gotten the launching/retrieving down so we're in and out real quick.

Yeah...wasn't sure about the color before the purchase but we love it now. Britboater thats an awesome shot in your signature!
