I live in Arlington. Only had the boat about 4 months or so and have not been able to get out much. Fished Arlington, Joe Pool and Fork a few times so far.

Bought the 2005-190(shown below) 5 years ago and I have had no problems with it, its just a good stable boat,I use it 2 or 3 times each week on average.

Does the dual console make it feel small?

I have a 190 with the 175vmax. It also has dual consoles. If I could go back I would likely not have gotten the dual consoles (wife doesn't go enough to justify the loss of space). Other than that the boat has been great for the last few years. Handles any water I want to be out in and goes as fast as I should likely be going in a boat that size. Holds a good amount of gear. Careful with the rod box if you fish really long rods and want to keep them stored in the boat for long periods... not sure they aren't curving at the tip a bit. I just take my long rods out when I am not on the water.

Thanks for the input guys!!

And I thought it was just me. I bought my boat with the agreement that I had a passenger console because she didn't like the handles. Now ask me how many times she has been in the boat and I am embarrassed to say. Answer would be 1. Boat is 3 years old.

I have a 08 zx 190 and it has been very reliable. I can't imagine a better first boat for me. Fishing the skeeter tourney with my 11 and 14 year old sons makes me want a 20 ft skeeter boat.
