Has anyone ever owned, or does own an 2013 AR 192?

[Mitchsaw]

Currently looking to buy one, I've located a nice deal around me, and have yet to talk numbers with the guy or inspect it, but I know this forum has a lot of really boat-savvy people on it; have you guys ever owned an 2013 AR192, and should I be worried about anything in this specific year?

Where is the deal at? My cousin has a 192 for sale in Indiana ( they use the boat near you on Brookville lake ) I forget what year his is.

Lexington, KY - I don't think he's going to be able to beat this deal, but hey, I'm open...

If you figure out what he has let me know

I'm not familiar with the boat, but do recall during my research in the FAQ they speak of timing chain issues on pre 2015 models. Something to reply look into.

I had a 2014. Same boat outside of paint colors. Only negative marks I can give it are engine noise (which you can tame some) and thin vinyl. Other than that it is a stellar boat. I miss mine and want another one some day.

I have a 2014. Only had it since December and have taken it out about 8 times. I enjoy it a lot. I think it's a great boat and has plenty of power. I have not found any issues with mine. I was aware of timing chain issue. It's not a common occurrence, but yeah does happen. I love my boat, so does my family. Good luck!

I currently have a ‘13 AR192. I think it’s a great boat and I haven’t had any major issues with it yet. Second owner of the boat with 150+ hrs on the engine (in storage now, can’t remember exactly how many hrs). Any specific questions I can answer regarding this model year just ask.

I have owned a 2013 AR192 since brand new in ('13) never had ANY issues. I have a few complaints and that is the engine noise and they are gas thirsty, other than that it has served us excellent.
