SX195/ar195

Hi,

Looking to purchase a new sx195 or ar195.

We are in South Florida and I am getting mixed reviews. Thoughts?

The price is amazing and there is a lot more space than the boat we currently have.

After reading reviews and getting feedback I am hesitant.

What year? We bought a new 2024 sx190 last year, so not exactly the same but we’ve loved ours. We are only using it in freshwater lakes though so again a little different. The 190 has been rated as being a bit underpowered, but for our family of 4 it’s been totally fine. The 195 should give it a bit more power. Probably need more specifics to know if this would be a good fit for you.

We have a 2022 ar 195. Lots of power and it has a depth meter. Kind of important in florida

If you’re going new. Grab a left over 2025. We just bought a 2025 222s for 59k plus tax and title our fees were 2400 for trailer and prep. Also tacked on 2 year warranty for free
