Saw this at the Houston boat show today. Hadn't read about it beforehand and thought surely the 255 was some kind of marketing ploy. Had I known it was a new model, would've taken a few more pics.
This was my first time seeing any of the 2015s in person. To my eyes, the Scarab was hands down nicer than the Yamaha and Chaparral 24 footers also on site. The fit, finish, and just general curb (dock?) appeal really stood out. The seamless glass is awesome.
For some reason when I was looking at it I was under the impression it was in the $60s and thought it was a good value...it was nice--just maybe not $80k nice.
Had I not bought the 2014 Yamaha 242 at a steep discount, the Scarab would definitely be my new favorite.
Not going to lie. . . . had I too not bought the 2014 at such a steep discount this would be a top contender against the 2015 Yamaha's. Styling and interior appear to be WAY nicer than the Yamaha fit and finish, which merely gets the job done.
