My 2015 AR 192 went 55 with me and 2 kids and ran 7800 rpm new. It only ran about 7k after a couple years and now runs at 7k to start with and 6k after it warms up. Thrown thousands and thousands at it and nobody can make it run like new and only had the engine rebuilt twice. They used to make a 6 cyl 175hp naturally aspirated engine. I wish they still did. These 1.8s are way to small for a boat this size. Glad I only have 1 engine, or I would be living under a bridge trying to work on 2 every year. I hope you have better luck than I have.
We recently had 8 people on the boat and trying to do wake sports, it was definitely underpowered and had a hard time getting on plane. I'll be adding some smart trim tabs and hopefully that will help. We also do usually boat around 6200 ft above sea level so that doesn't help
Everybody always says to buy your "next" boat first. The 195 works great for us and we store it in our garage. As our four kids get bigger, start to want to bring friends, etc. we'll probably upsize at some point. Let me know what you decide!
Loading the trailer for the first time in very windy and choppy water. I'm going to order a gel coat touch up kit in the proper color to fix it. I'm also ordered a Cobra jet steering system and will be adding some bunk guide boards
These jet boats are notorious for going slower at high altitudes. We usually boat anywhere from 4500 to 6000 ft above sea level. The lower we go the faster the boat is

Nice bud! We’re looking at the 2023 model. Not sure if we want the 195 or 240

One engine is enough to keep up Maintainence on. Damn having 2 of these PsOS
How deep is the water?. How hot is it there? Thumbs up for that👍☺.
Right now it's been in the '90s and hundreds. This water was anywhere from 14 to 35 ft deep
How did that scratch / gouge happen?

Has to do way more than 42mph...
