SCARAB finally updated their website to include the 285 details and pricing:

I see one major flaw in this boat that will hinder their sales ... Too wide for US roads. This thing specs a 9'2" beam, which is well beyond the standard 8'6" max wide that is allowed on US roads. Sure you can get a special oversized load permit ($$$), but it restricts you on what time of day and which days you can tow, not to mention those narrow roads that surround most waterways would be very tricky. Plus standard insurance may not cover you and you end up paying additional costs for specialized coverage.
Sorry SCARAB, but you lost me at hello.
