Scarab 255 Wake Edition

I think so! the last time I drove my 195 I traded was last fall, so some time has passed...but the IST really is smooth and easy to shift forward-reverse... I also really like the ability to adjust your bucket to get to true neutral... I was at the dock with the engines running and the boat just stayed put...really amazing.

As far as the touchscreen, the features I liked the most about it which is what sold me was the video inputs - I'm having my go-pro installed/mounted/hooked up to the dash...the other feature I really liked was the ability to control the stereo and volumes/etc on the screen - I hated the remote that didn't tell you what you were doing - the small things :) was it worth 3 grand? Prob. not - but cool, yes :)
 
Is the upgraded stereo in the 2016 different and better than the one in our 2014's?
 
I wish a company would make a reverse bucket like that for all Yamaha boats. I would buy one for sure.

I wonder if there would be copyright issues?
Doesn't the high end yamaha ski's have a similar bucket?
 
@Shane Scarab the stereo is the same kicker stereo as the 2014-- I opted to order the factory stereo and am in the middle of a stereo upgrade to Roswell elites and neptunes. Will post pics this week. Should have back by Friday!!!
 
That will be very cool to see, I will look for your pictures
