    190 SPX - two questions

    1. The walk through windshield... hard corners and sharp edges on the framing at the walk through space on both sides. This is not a miss, it's just the design. Nothing a quick touch of an angle grinder can't fix, BUT this is a brand new boat and I don't really want to go grinding off the...

    Thank you Jim! That answers it, but I will also follow up with the dealer this week.

    2022 SPX 190

    If this is ordered with the Tower, does the tower have a quick release fold down option for storage? If not, how tall would the storage entry need to be to accommodate this boat with tower?

    Yea, I have it on my truck and it's nice to have. I've learned that it also depends on what actual product is used and how it's applied. As an engineer, you can likely attest to how tricky it can be to apply. My concern is that the "dealer" sells you the package... a package that you cannot...

    Do you guys trailer these things or keep them in the water?

    Sounds good! I will keep this in mind as I learn the boat. I know myself... and I will likely want to improve some things once I'm comfortable and understand much more. When I do, I'll message ya! ;) Thank you for the good info!

    Yes! Exactly! It's made to "wow" to begin with. I'm not a performance boat racer or an avid boat person at all. This is my first "real" boat and my first boat in over 25yrs, so all-in-all, I'm a full-fledged newbie! I'm trying to decide on this ceramic coating deal. Many say it's worth it....

    Ceramic Coating

    Hi all, I'm about to order a new XPS 190. FRESH water lakes only. What are your thoughts on the Ceramic coating of the boat? It's an "option" of course... Is this worth it? Does it truly make cleaning and protecting the boat easier? I know what it is and how it's supposed to work...

    Thanks for the info. Hence I didn't get whatever a "simrad" is! LOL! No worries there. "I just tested the boat yesterday with the SE 400 hydrofoil and the boat planes faster and bow rise is much lower. I also put on a quicksilver nemesis 4 blade prop this morning and will let you know how...

    Thank you all! Talking to a friend of mine today... I mentioned the boat thing. I hear, "Do not EVER buy a brand new boat. No! Complete and total loss of money. Don't ever buy a new boat." One thing I've learned over the last couple weeks is that just about everyone that does not have...

    Thank you! I wish I had pics to share of the boat! It seems hard to find good owner pics out here anywhere right now. Looking for owner interior colors. Wife want's the tan... I think it might be TOO TAN though.
