The new RS H180 & H190)

cant please everyone!

I think its nice that they are moving away from adding "flair" with early 90s wind breaker graphics on every solid colored boat side.

This is really cool! Props for taking the risk.

I can see an appeal to the design and bold color scheme of this boat. Likely not for everyone, but what design/color scheme is?

When that starboard transon seat is lowered does it come close to restricting the blower exhaust out of the two blower vents?

I assume when the two transom seats are being used and you have the hinged tops raised (like shown in above picture) that they are to be used as back rests or head rests? It just looks a little goofy seeing the two back rests resting in their upward position. I almost think drawing a target on them and standing back 40 feet with a paint ball gun would make great sandbar fun, if it wasn't my boat.....

I assume those graphics on the side are stickers?

I like that they are trying different designs and color schemes not the same old same old but unless those bright colors are done in Imron, the colored gel coats do not last, at least not in my experience. I think that there are better quality gels that are more UV resistant but I know that expensive boats like Formula use Imron for their graphics...

For people that can store the boat inside, it is OK, but otherwise the colored gels esp dark blue, red or black become a constant headache and never look good past 5-7 years in the sun..

I think the outside looks good (and I'm 47), but that dark grey on the seats would not be usable in South Florida. It would send you to the hospital with 3rd degree burns just from solar heat. :evil:

I suspect the tinted windshield would be the same way.

Some pics from last weeks Utah boat show of the RS, and the lofty price tag :shock:

$40,000 for a 19 foot boat :shock:

40k for a 19ft bowrider? That's upwards of double the competition. I don't see that surviving

I will add, that every year, the boat show prices at the Utah show, are much higher than the same boat here in Michigan.
I have never understood why. It's not like Mormon's have more expendable income than us midwestener's.
I'm going to the GR show this weekend, and will get some pics and pricing to post here for comparison.

I'm trying to get a carpool to visit the Miami boat show this weekend.

Negative Ghostrider, the pattern is full.

At least this one's not RED and black.

Nice looking boat.

My GF doesn't care to go and most of my other friends are into the hardcore wakesurf boats that are not there so.... it's always a hit or miss if I can get a carpool together.
