In the market for a 195

[wontforgetdis]

So Im serious about a 195.

Did alot of research went to boat shows.

1. Need a boat that has no wood = Sea ray
2. need a boat that i can tow = 195 Have Mercedes ML could i do a 205??
3. Need a boat with a warranted = 2006+
4. Need a boat with Fuel Injection = 4.6


looking @ 2006 used I could get a 08 new..

the only big thing would be getting an 04 out of warentee could get them for 14k

08 new im getting fully loaded for 22k

all with trailer..

thoughts..
:huh:

That 08 price doesn't sound to bad... I was negotiating on an 08 195 and 205 and the starting price they gave me for the 195 was 27k. We ended up going with the 205 and didn't do much negotiating on the 195 price, but I don't think I could have got them to drop 5k.

If you can get the 08 for that price... I would say go for it! I have been very pleased with my 06 195...

I believe it has exceded all of my expectations....

I don't think you can go wrong with the 195!

Might as well go for 205 then. I suggest the 5.0 mpi engine. It is ballsy.

The ML, whats the towing capacity, thats the most important aspect right now.

I agree with Merge360. If you can get a new 2008 195 for 22k with trailer, that's one you can't pass up. I think I paid 24k without trailer last Spring and I thought that was a good price.

By the way, I love the boat. Mine came with the 4.3L and it gets out of the hole pretty strong and tops out close to 50mph.

This is what I found.. So should I go with 205..
I plan to have this for 2 seasons and then upgrade.. to 300 +

If your M-Class has the Towing Package (hitch and light harness), according to the owner's manual, you will be able to tow up to 5,000 lbs., U. S. specifications. As I posted earlier the vehicle is rated for 7712 lbs. in Germany, and I have seen no explanation for the differences.

I have towed very near to 5,000 lbs. with our ML 320 and it has done well.
