What'd you pay for your Scarab?

[OperationROL]

I am impressed. Even if he is on a river with a current, etc, the boat is still running mid 60's easily. I had no idea they were that fast. Let me know your results when you get yours.

And half the price of a new Scarab, glasstron, or chaparral.

That's always good. How soon will the purchase be done?

hmm... might be accurate, but he might want to get that thing calibrated...

i struggle with how all the reputable articles (Boat Test, Boating Mag, etc...) show a top speed for a stock SE at around 53-55mph.

Like i said before though, i love these boats, whether it does 55 or 70, i would buy it either way...

@Ron and Renee will tell us on Saturday

 

[Slugger55]

Yup! I would love to here the results too! I tried buying a SeeDoo but couldn't find one at the time, I should have waited..

 

[veedubtek]

Beautiful, and again, stellar deal. Make sure it is 430hp though, not all SE's were.

 

[DieselCamel]

How fast is yours

Huh I was expecting well over 60 closer to 70. I've seen some video of stock boats doing 70

The boats running 60+ are probably the 500hp boats. I believe very few 210's were sold with the 500hp option. As it was a considerable price jump.

 

[ScarabMike]

Congrats on your purchase @Ron and Renee ! She is beautiful.

There is a boat out there (RARE) that I would give my Scarab up for, and its a Seadoo. The 210SP. One day Ill find one.

 

[Yan Masse]

This boat is registered here in QC and I think this is the one that was for sale last fall.

She was on my wow list but I chose not to change my tow vehicule and stick with 19'

 

[veedubtek]

There is a 180SP for sale locally @ScarabMike . Not that I think you'd want it, it's just interesting. I'd never seen a 180SP before. Did the 210 come with 215's or 255's?

 

[ScarabMike]

@veedubtek Id go 210 or even better 230, but they came with the twin 255's. You want to get the 2012's though. They have the digital throttles like the Scarabs.

 

[veedubtek]

Did the 11's not have the electronic throttles? I know the 12's did One of my favorite features of my boat.

My 2016 210se is fly by wire. A must have!

Correction 2011

 

[Ron and Renee]

Just wanted to thank DieselCamel for the heads up on the S boat. Thanks brother you saved me time and money!!

 

[Ron and Renee]

Well thanks everyone for the good words and info! I guess I should change my profile and get on the sea doo forum take care and be safe out there

 

[ScarabMike]

@Ron and Renee You mean the SeaDoo section? No need to leave man, we are non brand specific here. As song as you have a jet pump, you are one of us!

Lets get back on topic guys. This thread is a useful tool for future Scarab owners.
