Yes, that video has caused confusion. I have read (on the internet, so it must be true) that after the video Avid decided to build the 20' and above with .125 and the 19' boats and below with .100. ...
From Avid's website:
19 XB | SPECIFICATIONS
Length
18' 7"
Will a longer jack plate result in the boat sitting more "bow up" at rest?
I agree regarding space up front. It's really interesting to see how many topics on bbc reference 'buying the last boat', 'near retirement', and 'crappie fishing in future'. I'm in the same 'boat',...
I'd like to share some data provided by Vexus in reply to my request for information. Hope this helps.
Capacities/Hull Weight –
AVX 189 – 4 Persons/630lbs/1,245lbs
AVX 1880 – 4...
Xpress also commented that the stated weight for the AW19 trailer does not include brakes. Their representative has been prompt and helpful answering my questions, much appreciated.
zp, I have not seen either of these boats in person, but they are in consideration. When looking at pictures of the 1880 it seems to get narrow at the front compared to the RT188 or even the AVX 189...
Correction: Xpress indicated that their AW19 trailer weighs 650 pounds, not 350. My mistype. Sorry.

Helpful responses. Bob, important comment. I still need to sit in a number of different boats and get the feel of what it would be like to fish out of them. From your experience is this issue...
Again, thanks for all the responses. Your personal experiences are so very valuable. I also am not looking to go as fast in the new boat as I can go in my current boat. That being said, like...
Some sound information. To be clear, I am working within my self-imposed towing weight limit which is why I am looking in this particular space. The RT198P and X19 with 150 may be over the weight...
Thanks for the responses, I benefit from your experiences. My boat is one of the light weight, go fast designs. It is not a smooth ride in rough water (specifically boat traffic) and I have surfed...
jtrac, thanks for the info; I have updated my spreadsheet. Based on the trailer GVWR is suspect the hull weight of the 188P is not the same as the 198P which would indicate that Ranger's website...
First post, long time lurker. Lots of good information on this site, very appreciated. Like many others, I am nearing retirement and am looking for that 'last boat'. I'm currently in an 18'...
