Scarab 195

[ScarabMike]

Run as fast as you can. For the same price you can have one of the new 21ft boats from Yamaha with a ton of options. And you will have a second engine

Would you recommend keeping the boat when it is fixed or run from it? My family and I have lost the season dealing with the Scarab issues.

Just can't believe the Scarab is such a poor quality boat

@Bernie I am not totally convinced that it is the boat; I convinced that there are some DUMB ASSES out there that sell this product and they don't know how to work on them. We have had Scarab Techs on this forum who are trying to answer questions and I have seen a couple of them who don't know what they are talking about. It's a great boat, you just need the service and support side. I guarantee that the BRP tech at the dealership is brand new with this line.

36 hours. The only quality issue I have with my boat is the windshield won't maintain alignment. My dealer is great.

Glad to hear you are having very little issues with your Scarab. I have been through 2 this past summer and as soon as it is repaired I am selling it. I lost the entire season with this line of boat and BRP telling me parts are on back order . I am upgrading to a Sea Ray. Just wish I had the same luck as you.

Same here, 37 hours and all good.

Even the numerous bolts nuts lost in the 1st 10 hours are holding on!

This boat is so good in the waves, way lot better than my friend's sx230.

I have had problems with my boat, but the reasons are due to tech's who don't know what they are doing. Good luck with Sea Ray...

Traded in my Sea Ray and not looking back. Hit 50 hours yesterday and no problems whatsoever mechanically.

Your on to something I agree it might be the techs but I need to get a boat that they can service. Our season is short and to lose the entire summer is a sin. I will update with the outcome of the repair if it finally happens. Good luck with your boat and just wanted to say thanks for all the input.

There are always good and bad with what ever you buy I just have a bad run on two boats. Good luck with yours.
