Not talking about super low gunwale boats with V8's that are really only good for when the water is "glass". Talking about newer 19-25ish bowriders typically powered by "waverunner" engines. I got a ride on a Scarab 255 HO over the weekend and was kinda interigued. It was weird as fuck to drive and would take some getting use to but the layout was nice and it had good power. Granted this is a $50k+ boat I see some used Yamaha twin's engine jetboats this same "style" for under $20K
Scarab Jet Boats | 255 H.O.
I was reading some FB discssion on these jetboats. Guys were saying they were unreliable, ride like shit, hard to drive, etc. I find it hard to believe they would be unreliable (maybe the BRP powered ones) but still. Something like this would be nice for the Chain but I don't think it would like rough water. You wouldnt have issues with props and outdrives but you would probably suck up shit have have the same bullshit problems.
discuss.
