Hi Guys,
I am looking to upgrade my jetboat, I currently have a 2014 Scarab 195 HOI that I absolutely love. It's just time for something bigger and with less annoying little issues :(. I am leaving a deposit on a 2016 242X this week which will pend a sea trial. Other than some normal cleaning the boat looks great and has 80 hours! Just looking for some advice to look for? Is there anything with this Year that is a known issue or maybe something they fixed in more recent years? I am so excited to check this beast out!!
