Welcome! That is an absolutely gorgeous boat! I checked the Scarabs out a month or so ago, and totally loved them. The 24' Scarab should be out soon, and that's what I'm really wanting to see. Although my Yammie is a '12 so I have a few more years before I'll trade it in...

Dude I love your boat. Maybe we can trade for a month so we can experience both sides of the jet boat spectrum! LOL

Sounds like a plan to me! Heck if your ever in the ATL shoot me a PM and we'll take her out for the day. Although... I'm really thinking about taking part in the '15 Bimini trip... :)

We love it too and with just under 100 hours, she's been a dream first boat. Couldn't have asked for a better first time family boat at the time. I'm just glad to see competition in the market, hopefully by the time I'm ready to trade her in there will be some awesome innovation in this market segment.

Here are some pics of the stepped hull on my boat. There are some crazy lines on this thing really aggressive. Looks like the Regal boat's hull. Ill tell you guys this, its on rails in the water.

I'm so glad this is a jet boat forum, not a single brand name forum. It's great to have choices and Scarab has brought some variety into the mix.

Hi all! Just got the Scarab 215 HO Impulse. love it so far, only 4 hours on it so far. Got it for $56K fully loaded (500hp).
Let see some pictures? What options did you get on it? Did you get the ballast/Scarab smart mat?

That is a very good price for the loaded 500 HP. At least $6 under list!

Welcome to the Jetboaters Family @Frogboy! Congrats on the purchase, be sure to start your own thread so we can find your pics and experiences with your Scarab.

@jdonalds I love that this is a Jet boat site and not just a Yamaha forum!

Hi all. Will take some pics tomorrow.

Didn't get the ballast, I don't use it for water skiing and such. The smart mats I passed on.

I also have a seadoo 150 which is my go-to "quick" boat.

We're up at Higgins Lake Mi. Will update profile.

He @Frogboy , it is nice to see another Michigander and another Rotax to help even things up against those Yamaha folks! ;)

You are up by where our boats were built.
