Re: Buying SX190 (johnfields20)
Sounds like a good deal. I have a single console '04 SX190 that I coulda/shoulda traded off for a 2009 Alpha 211 two months ago. They offered me $14,500 trade in. (Just want a bigger boat, nothing wrong with the SX190, it's a great boat).

That sounds a smidge high to me, see if you can talk him down some more.
Re: Buying SX190 (johnfields20)
seems to be a fair price to me.last year at this time i was looking for the same boat.i ended up with a 2001 r model ranger dual consol with a 175hp for 14500.00.if i did not have my boat now i would not hesitate to pay 14500.00 for a 2005 model sx190 with a yamaha 150.i owned a ss140 skeeter with 115 hp yamaha.great boat!!!!!!
Re: Buying SX190 (johnfields20)
I know the money is different, but I've got a used 06 zx190 dual console with a 175 HPDI for 21500 if interested. It's loaded with color gps, custom cover, etc. Let me know if interested.

Re: Buying SX190 (Jason Hale)
zx models are fine fishing machines.well worth the asking price. if you do not sell your boat by this spring the only reason i can think of is the economy stinks and looks like it may take years for us to come out of this.
Re: Buying SX190 (johnfields20)
I have an '07 SX190 with a four stroke and if I sold my boat today, I'd be looking for $21K. $14.5 K for an'05 sounds fair to me as long as it is in excellent shape (no repairs needed). I'll also tell you that a dual console on this boat takes up a lot of space and I think you would regret a dual in the long run.
Re: Buying SX190 (johnfields20)
One thing I would do is to pay someone to give you the motor hours report and see exactly what "low" hours means. I was tracking my own hours during break in period and I was WAY off! Also take it for a ride. Make your offer on these findings.
Re: Buying SX190 (MisterE)
If it has the carb 150 there is no way to tell hours unless they installed an hour meter. http://xs-s.com/zf/images/smile/emthdown.gif
