Welcome Aboard @Janguh Lang. I moved your question to a new thread so it will get more attention. I am not familiar with Scarb pricing. @ScarabMike, what you think of his deal?

Welcome @Janguh Lang! 50K OTD looks to be a fair price for the 215. But I believe some have been getting better deals. Search this thread, and use it for negotiations.

A few pointers....
1. Sea trial the boat (no excuses or dont buy)
2. Check the service department's capabilities with the boat. Knowledge, Experience, Reputation, willingness to work with its post sales customers. <<<< This is the most important of all!!!
3. Do some reading on this section to get you familiarized in the strengths and weaknesses of the boat.
4. Dont use boat fuel (non ethanol 90) unless you have no choice. It will retard timing, and will limit your RPMs and speed. E10 91 or above octane is great. Just use a fuel treatment.
5. Do not flush the engine for more than 2 minutes. This will cause premature wear on the carbon seals.
6. If you can finagle a trailering cover in the deal, DO IT. This cover is far superior to the stock covers, and will preserve and protect the boat. You will thank yourself in the long run.
5. Ask for the 5 year B.E.S.T. warranty.
6. Dont be afraid to walk away. Take a ride to the Yamaha dealer and check out the AR240. Its only about 3k more and you get some nice equipment and a bigger boat.

This cannot be emphasized enough, and I'm sure after some digging in here, you'll quickly realize it. Scarab guys with a good dealer emphatically love their boat. There are a large percentage of scarab owners with a poor dealer however, and I think a fair portion of those feel like they flushed 50K down the toilet.

Welcome aboard. Grab your coffee and cancel any plans you may have had today, you can easily get lost in here with the wealth of information available.
