Good day. I just recently purchased a 2009 Azure AZ 188. It was a local find and, after doing some on-line research, I initially passed on it. Then I finally found a Bennington dealer that had an employee that has been with them since early 2000 and new the Azure boats. After talking to him, I went to have another look and made a deal. Has the 4.3 Volvo Penta, about 100 hours use, color matched Azure all welded trailer with welded spare tire carrier, folding hitch and aluminum mag wheels. Also came with the travel cover and the snap-on covers. As for quality, everywhere I look it seems that the best of components were used. No plastic or aluminum finishing, all stainless. Basement storage is latched, rear engine cover is latched.
K, to the point. I have seen other pictures of the 188 on the net and it seems there were different designs and finishes. I am reaching out to see if there is anyone out there that can give me history of these boats. Any and all info would be greatly appreciated so I will know exactly what I have. What were they originally worth? What years were they made? Think 2005-2009. Thanks in advance.
