I know a lot of folks post when they have questions or problems, but I thought it'd be nice to just see a post where someone is enjoying the boat without any issues to speak of.

We took our new-to-us Scarab 195 HOI out on the water for the first time the other day. We are located a few minutes from Lake Delavan and a few more minutes from Lake Geneva, which is the bigger lake. In total we spent about 2.5hrs on the water. Loading and unloading is the only area we need more practice on, being that this is our first boat; while we've been out on lakes with other boaters handling the logistics, it's definitely different when it's your boat.
Since it was a weekday and there are 2 lanes for putting in and 2 for taking out, it wasn't busy at all which meant we could take our time and double-check things. The boat did great despite it being a windy day that whipped up the waves a bit. After warming it up and cruising around at 6K rpms we did a few WOT runs. It has no trouble hitting 8K rpms and getting up to speed quickly. That's quite a difference to other boats we've been on.
All around a great day and we're looking forward to more outings as the Summer finally gets underway here in the Midwest.
