    Seasonal wet slip docking

    I pull my boat at least once a month now. I use The Works to clean the hull but I didn't know about the jets. If I can pull them apart and clean them easily I'll probably do that. I'm guessing it might not be that easy to take apart and put back together.

    Seasonal wet slip docking

    I'm planning on purchasing a AR250 this winter. I have a seasonal dock at my local lake and want to dock it there next summer. There is a AR210 across from me and he seems to be fine. I was wondering about algae getting into the jets. I know I have to pull my boat out at least once a month to...

    Lake Erie Boating

    Does anyone boat Lake Erie? I'm near Ashtabula and was planning on purchasing a Scarab 255. People have told me that I shouldn't get a jet because it won't handle that lake. I have a hard time believing that it wouldn't handle it. so I was wondering how many Lake Erie Jet Boaters are here and...

    Contacted Scarab!

    I wrote this to Scarab to see what the response would be. I really like the Scarab and the features. I just don't want to be out on lake Erie and have the carbon seal go! "I am interested in purchasing a 255G in the spring. I have heard a lot of people talk about problems with the carbon...

    Possible lawsuit against Scarab/Glastron/RBH (discussion thread)

    I called Scarab in Cadillac, Michigan. The tech told me he hasn't heard of any issues with the carbon seal. He said it was not really possible for a boat to sink because the seal went bad. He did say that if the seal was starting to go it was probably lack of proper maintenance and the owner...

    Possible lawsuit against Scarab/Glastron/RBH (discussion thread)

    Is there a thread with all of the issues? I am planning on purchasing a 255 Platinum. I figured all the bugs had probably been worked out by the 2018 models. Is Scarab not honoring the warranty or is it a Rotax issue?

    Scarab Intake issues?

    I really like the Scarab boat! It's a lot more comfortable than the Yamaha (in my opinion). I love the look of it and my wife loves it! I hear everyone talking about the Intake getting clogged and how the Scarab doesn't have a clean out. One guy said he melted his water box coupler and couldn't...

I have a lot to research and learn before buying but I'm sure this forum will be a great tool! When I talked to the service manager for Scarab he told me that the filter...

    Rough Water

    Hi All, I'm new to the forums. I am searching for a boat and went to the boat show in Cleveland this past weekend. I was actually looking at the Bayliner VR6 but really didn't care for it once I looked at it. I came across the Scarab 215 and was impressed. I know absolutely nothing about the Jet...
