@njmr2fan ....appearantly it's not a private lake but a lake guarded like area 51 with a self sustained cloaking device? I think this is how they're staying ahead of the competition?

 

[RiverRat]

I for one am excited to see what I'll be upgrading to in 4 or 5 years!

 

[njmr2fan]

We're all excited to see what will be coming up on the used market!

@Nucem140 yes sir. The voltage display on the screen only shows the house battery voltage not the starting battery. Have you noticed the 2 voltages are always almost identical? Check your batteries with a meter then check the screen. I have tested this as well as other people here. I ran my radio almost all day and then checked it. The displayed voltages were almost the same but when I checked the batteries the starting battery was almost 2 full volts higher than the house battery. Yamaha knows the display is only showing the house battery but said they have no plans on fixing it. There is a whole thread on this

OMG......This has been driving me crazy!!! I was thinking there was something wrong with the DVSR and that the batteries were being paralleled. @subcritical71 could you give me the link to that thread? Thanks.

Scarab has released their 2016's!! Lots of competition on the plate!

Scarab has released their 2016's!! Lots of competition on the plate!

25 footer with dual 250hp engines with options for enclosed head with window and sink, ballast system, full sunpad, tower speakers, digital speed control, and underwater lights. You're right, Scarab came to play!

That being said, I still can't get past the lack of cleanout ports. With the Ohio River and Lake Cumberland both at record highs earlier this year and tons of debris floating around, I would have been completely dead in the water several times after sucking up small pieces of debris.

Here is a link to their website, the link Murf posted was a PDF, I was trying to click on it for 5 minutes before I figured out it wasn't the actual website!

that new tower on the wake package looks nice! Still not a fan of the versa-lounge, but I'm impressed of the look of the 255 Wake. Looking forward to what Yamaha has in store. Local dealer has 1 2015 242LS left. I know I will want a 2016, but if it takes getting a killer deal on a 2015 to get the wife on board, I'm ok with that.

 

[Britboater]

The 2016 Scarabs are defiantly knocking on the door of Yamaha (in colors, accents, looks etc).

Yes @subysti . Sorry. I was writing that post from my phone and clicked the wrong name. Thanks for the link.

 

[njmr2fan]

Wow. That's some way to step up. Scarab was a lux brand for many years, maybe these new investors really do have a plan to resurrect their former glory. Beautiful lineup they have.

I agree on the versa-lounge...to me it looks like it would be a real problem to keep clean and I'll need to see it in the field for a bit longer because those hinges look kind of fragile. No complaints on the looks though. When I was shopping I came across a 195 HO Impulse with something like 20 hours on it that was really beautiful, but I couldn't find a dealer close enough for me to feel comfortable. This lineup expansion makes me think dealer expansion is just around the corner.

The rear versa lounge seats was a reason I stayed away from scarab. I like the fact I can have people in the back of the boat and sitting on the stern at the same time without having to share a backrest.

Small piece of advice:

1) Take 2 (TWO) boat rides.
2) Your Bride MUST be on both rides.
3) One of the rides MUST be on a 2015 or 2016 24-foot Yamaha. Any model. You must "gas it up and go" for at least 15 minutes per ride.
4) The other boat can be ANY model by any other mftr of your choice.

After both rides, I got $ 5000.00 riding on which boat y'all buy.
There is no doubt.
SHE will make the decision for you.
Take my word for it.

Best Wishes, Mikey Lulejian - Lake Oconee, GA

Right, lets work this out…..current Scarab at $X minus $5000 from @MikeyL = A good discount .

 

[Murf'n'surf]

They sure are pretty on the outside but don't forget the 2 ugly things hiding in the engine compartment.
