Scarab Jet Boat 255 HO Impulse Review
When I thought things could not get any better, they not only got they got 3 times better. I was lucky enough to check out the Scarab 215 HO Impulse last year. At that time I thought until I was able to test their all-new 255 HO Impulse -- the industry's biggest jet boat that Scarab had perfected the jet boat design.
With a holeshot under 2.0 minutes and a top-end speed just shy of 55 miles (54.8 mph) using the standard twin 200 HP powered Rotax motors, this rocket boat will let you know where you want to go quickly and get your wake boarder from this water and shredding water in a blink of an eye. Still feel that you need a power? , the ship could be arranged with 250 hp Rotax motors.
The 255 to help alleviate those concerns has been designed by Scarab Though she is powered by jets, which may be tricky at times to maneuver in close quarters and docking. Both engines are controlled with a shift lever so that you do not need to worry about throttles. You can opt for the Digital Speed Control system which includes Ski Mode Docking Mode, and Cruise Mode. With the flip of a switch, you can restrict the output of this engine no matter how much throttle you give it (Docking Mode). You may specify a range based on the rider. Cruise Mode is useful if you have rate limits.
If wake boarding is the game, the discretionary Wake blast ballast system is functional and easy to use. Add around 1,150 lbs in 3 compartments with the flip of a switch and individually. The package with the cushioned that are optional wake board tower with bimini top and kicker speakers that are optional.
When designing this particular boat, scarab did not stop at this 255's operation element. This ship looks like she's moving even if sitting at the pier with her eye-popping colors (Laser Red, Vivid Green, Radiant Orange) and higher free board that's great for extra security with kids. The automotive-style windshield is sleek and offers separation and protection.
Outside the cockpit, the swim platform allows for easy dressing and covered in matting that's gentle to the knees when employing the 3-step ladder to emerge out of the water. Two hatches for easy access is found in the ground of the swim platform and cover an oversize wet storage compartment. They open to the sides that make it effortless to get by standing on one side or the other. The seating design is ideal before getting in the water, for strapping on a snorkel and fins.
Within the boat, the cockpit is stylish, yet comfortable and inviting with their chairs which wraps all around and stops captains' chairs. Those chairs' comfort and style is something that you expect to find on a luxury yacht. The flip-up bolster gives you an amazing view, although the textured, pearlescent upholstery is eye-catching and stunning.
Two items that the designers did really well on that I really enjoy is that someone can sit in the corners comfortably and the edges of all of the seats are raised to provide additional support under the legs and also to keep your passenger comfortable in their chairs. At length, the seating sets flat to make a sun pad or upgrade to a configuration which will provide you the choice of turning the whole stern to a lounge that is horizontal.
