If anyone on this area has a 195 or 212 I am happy to pay for half a tank, help wash and flush, bring beer or any beverages, and pay for lunch on the water at any marina.

I’m looking to evaluate both sizes and would like to find someone willing to take me and wife out for half day.

This is a huge decision for me and my family. No wake or surfing just cruising and sandbars.

Thanks.

Go with the larger boat. You're on the coast and chances are you'll be in the Atlantic. If you never ever plan to go in the Atlantic and just stay in the ICW than maybe. But if you plan on bringing guests the 19 gets small real fast.
 
Get the bigger boat and dont second guess yourself. You wont regret it.
 
Remember, size and engines you cant upgrade without buying a new boat. Everything else you can for the most part. Size is everything. For comfort, guests and handling. We were going to go 19 at lasr minute we went 21, actually i went 21 and didnt clear it with the admiral. She was annoyed, now she is happy. It is amazing how much smaller they get on big water once you are in them.
 
Would still be willing to pay for a ride. I can’t even find one at the dealer just to look at.
 
Come up to Indiana, bring me some fresh seafood and you can ride for free???

Hey! I’m in Chicago right now. We’re moving back to Florida after 20 years up here.
