If you like to zip around on the water but don’t want a jet ski, the Scarab Jet 195 ID jet boat may be the boat for you. Available in a multitude of eye catching colours and graphics, the Scarab 195 is a logical step up from a jet ski or smaller runabout as it is the ultimate luxury jet boat.
The Scarab’s 195 Jet has plush cockpit seating for six adults with flip back backrests in the aft seats that convert into a sun pad, and in the bow you will find seating for four adults, or five if they are all close friends. Optional Marine Mat on all the walking surfaces is a nice touch and a great add on safety feature.
The co-captain’s seats on the Scarab 195 Jet has about every amenity you could ask for with a flip-up bolster, sliding base fore and aft, and it can rotate to the stern. In front of the co-pilot seat is a large deep glove box for storing all those things you bring aboard that never seem to have their own storage place.
The captain’s chair sits in front of a very full featured dash with a padded and tilting steering wheel, analog speedometer, and RPM gauges. Standard horsepower is a Rotax 170 hp, but we would recommend upgrading to the optional 230 hp or even the maximum 300 hp engine for ultimate performance in this boat. MSRP includes a factory-built trailer.
