New here and hoping to stay here

[Puff tentacle]

Hello everyone, my name is Anthony and I am from NY. So my story is that I have been looking for a 20-22ft Center Console and posted what I was looking for on a boating/fishing forum. A guy told me he had a 2003 Mako 192 that he was going to list in the spring. I thought it was going to be to small but he said it rode bigger than a 19. Unrelated to that boat, I went to Florida to visit family and came across another 192 and I really , really , liked the boat. Looked bigger than a 19' because it has an 8'6" beam. Anyway , not to bore anyone here ,but I have to choose between the two boats and hopefully even though it's not a classic , you will welcome me just the same.

Welcome. What are specs on the two boats your looking at.

Thank you, glad to be here. They are the same exact boat dimensions Length 19'4" beam 8'6"

One is a 1999 and the other is a 2003

The 99 is a very well taken care of clean boat with a trailer but it's powered with a 2004 Evinrude Ficth . This was the good years of Ficth after OMC went bankrupt but I am still very leary. The 03 has a 130 Honda four stroke on it. It sounds like a no brainer for the newer one with a four stroke but the 99 is really in good condition and the 2003 in my opinion is in average to slightly above average condition. Oh yeah , I can probably get the 99 fo $11k and the 03 is at $15,900.

here is one in the classified sections. All the prices are negotiable. With out seeing the condition and overall features the two you mention seem to be a little high on prices.

This boat you posted is the mako 191, it has an 8' beam &Liength is 19'. The Mako 192 are the ones I am looking at , they have an 8'6" beam , length 19'4". The boat rides like a 21 with that size beam on it. A little more deadrise too.

Thank you sharing
