    Wait for ‘21 Yammy 210 FSH or Jump on ‘19 Scarab 195 Open?

    Hi jetboaters, I’m technically new to the forum but I’ve been stalking y’all for a few weeks now 😉. I’ve learned so much from all of you and I’ve definitely decided to take the plunge on a center console jet boat. It would be my first boat, but I’ve got two kids and a wife so the jet boat...

    scarab 195 open id test drive

    Wanted to share my experience with the 2019 Scarab 195 Open ID. We had been looking for months at boats and wanted something to surf behind but also had fishing capability. We narrowed our search down to Scarab 195 open id ( we loved the tail gate) and the Yamaha 210 fsh sport. We went through...

    Rotax Temp Sensor on Backorder?

    Hey guys, new jet boat owner with a gently used 2017 Scarab 195 Open w/250hp power plant. Caveat on the buy was the temperature sensors was bad and it’s been ordered. Problem is that the dealership says it’s on backorder without any sort of lead time. My question is if there is a aftermarket or...

    What do you think of the Scarab 195 Open Fish?

    Found a 2017 195 Open Fish for $5000 off MSRP. Total out the door in Cali would be around $40k. Does that sound okay? What about comparison with the Yamaha FSH 190? They're priced lower and I believe may be more reilable. Anyone know if Scarab dramatically uped their reliability and...

    So sad that FSH 190 or 210 can't be sold in California

    Anyone know the real reason why Yamaha didn't get the FSH 190 or 210 certified to be sold in California? I mean they basically use the same engine on other Yamaha boats and they're available in Cali. Really wanted a FSH, but now may have to settle for a Scarab 190 Open. Anyone know if Yamaha...

    Bought my Scarab 195 Open new on April 28th, 2017. Its a pretty new boat so there is not much info on it but I am very interested to hear from others. Been great so far but have learned a few lessons in the last two months and 35 hours of run time. Don't ride with the canopy top up on the...
