About to put a deposit on this guy. ![07385021-908F-466B-A20A-6B931B82AEE2.png 07385021-908F-466B-A20A-6B931B82AEE2.png](https://jetboaters.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com/data/attachments/185/185200-b603175de7b518f56707c701be4040ca.jpg?hash=tgMXXee1GP)
I'm told it’s a 2023 215id 600hp. Don’t know how it’s a 2023 as I didn’t think they were out yet and the dealer has had it since March. I have been assured it is and will check all numbers to be sure. I’ve been bouncing back and forth between the Yamaha 212SE and this bad boy. This scarab dealer is 9 hours away. I had decided on the Yammy because the closest Scarab repair facility that will do warranty work is 4hrs away. Yamaha repair is an hour away. I also spend most of my time on a river and have sucked up a few sticks into my old Seadoo impeller. Love the Yamaha clean out ports for that issue. I preordered a Yamaha after my sales rep told me he is pretty sure I’ll get my boat by next season, probably by October. As of our last conversation he says he can’t guarantee it because a couple preordered 2022’s fell thru for his customers this week. They now have to reorder and pay 2023 pricing. Just after I hang up with Yamaha, the scarab guys call and tell me they have discounted the scarab to basically the same price as the Yamaha. So I’m getting a 2023 600hp 215 with premium everything ( and can pick it up this week) for the same price as a 2023 preordered Yamaha ( which may or may not come in). I figure that if I buy this Scarab now I will have a good bit of time to work out any kinks this season and if I find issues can get them fixed over the winter. Additionally I`d be getting a 2023 at 2021 pricing. Can`t hurt resale value if I decide to sell later. My question is does this sound to good to not have a catch. I don’t see how I can go wrong with a brand new boat. Never bought a new boat before and everyone has been so helpful with my previous questions on this forum. Thanks in advance. Thoughts?
