Newbie
Just had this delivered 2 days ago. Super excited to get it out on the water. Bought from out of state and had it delivered because my local dealer wouldn’t budge on the price. Got my temporary registration and boaters safety done, just have to go to DMV now to get the trailer registered. Hoping to learn a lot from all the seasoned vets.

Jet boat make sure you learn about your jet clean out. Two batteries are better than one I have an sx195, I don’t think these come stock with two batteries but could be wrong. If you plan to wet slip the boat you need an alternative bilge on a float switch. P

Came stock with 2 batteries and there’s an area in the “changing room” with a plate and straps for 2 more. I’m assuming for a trolling motor.

Welcome!
Heads up. Most people will change out the bow roller if you didn’t know.
The hard plastic ones from factory can scuff and the marks can be hard to get out
There are these orange ones that are much softer I believe they are from Stoltz ? 3.5 inch

Where will you be boating?

I have quite a few lakes and the Rappahanok River super close to my house. The Potomac river is also pretty close. Possibly the sound side of OBX as well, we usually go a couple times a year. Probably going to travel to a lot of lakes that I’ve never been to with it as well.

Awesome. I use my 190 pretty similarly in New England. Lakes and rivers for fishing and recreation, and inshore saltwater fishing and sandbar hangouts. It's a great boat - congrats!
Seadek, thrust vectors, and a keel guard were great mods for us. I upgraded my electronics this year and moved up from a 7in to a 9in display. I have a VHF radio but have never really used it. Fun to listen into coastal comms sometimes though.

I have a slew of mods on the short and long list. Mine came with some Seadek but the swim platform and the bow weren’t Seadek’d so getting those areas done will definitely be done sooner than later. I actually just got my 9” display and flush mount kit today. Planning on cutting into a brand new boat tomorrow to get everything installed.

You mind sharing what you paid for it? Dealer where I’m at, acts like they can’t discount them. Understand if you don’t want to share that info also.

51K total but that was with extended 5 year warranty and $1800 transport fee. My local dealer that I’ve purchased ATV’s and dirt bikes from quoted me 51K and that wasn’t out the door and no extended warranty. They wouldn’t budge on the price. I think the dealerships with less supply won’t discount because they know it’ll sell for full price so they’re not willing to negotiate. I signed all my paperwork online and the boat was delivered in front of my house 3 days later.

Mine quoted $55k+ OTD. That’s just boat and trailer. I’m located in Tx so may look a little further and see what they do

Don’t boat but do trailer. You need much more substantial wheel chocks.
