Top 3 Jet Boats of 2021

There Is one word that sums up jet boat runabouts Very succinctly: pleasure. They are fun to drive, fun to play on, and, well, only a whole lot of fun to own. Whether you are into watersports, cove-hopping, or just enjoy lugging around and exploring, there are plenty of jet boats to suit several different types of boaters.
 
Jet boats utilize a stream of high-intensity water directed through a nozzle for propulsion, rather than a propeller (that is what moves most boats). The deficiency of harmful running equipment at the stern is a distinct advantage for individuals who wakeboard, water ski, or tow tubes and toys. However, this kind of propulsion also supplies thrilling acceleration and handling, both of which are extremely important to that aforementioned fun element.
 
 

SCARAB 255 HO: WATERSPORTS WONDERLAND

You might remember the Scarab name in the company's high-performance times, even when "Miami Vice" type boats were the rage.
 
Look in the key swim platform around the Scarab 255 HO and you'll immediately see that this ship is about towing folks on skis, wakeboards, and water toys. Within the low-slung stage are opposing hatches that open to expose tons of wet equipment stowage--large enough for wakeboards and shorter water skis. That theme continues farther forward, where extra wet equipment stowage is integrated both in the cockpit and forward in the bow.
 
The seating arrangement in the 255 HO is extremely modular. In the stern, a pair of cushioned seat backs can be tipped fore or aft to create different seating arrangements, whilst at the cockpit 2 aft-facing chaise lounges could be formed by turning a set of concealed stowable cushion bases that hide beneath a pair of additional chairs. It is a nifty "there if you need it, gone when you don't" system. The bow includes two forward-facing lounges with wraparound bench seating. Twin captain's chairs are located behind the console.
 
A pair of three-cylinder Rotax engines producing a total of 400 horsepower is standard, whereas twin 250-horsepower Rotax power plants are available as an option. The foundation engines need to push the 255 HO to approximately 50 MPH, while the discretionary 250-horsepower update should run this ship well to the mid-50-MPH range. Low-end grunt is improved with the optional power plants, something worth contemplating for hardcore watersports fans who want the extra to get up and go.

YAMAHA SX240 HIGH OUTPUT: INFINITE IMPROVEMENTS

 
 A set of 1.8-liter, four-cylinder, 180-horsepower power plants propel the SX240 at rates up to an exhilarating 50 MPH. Furthermore, Yamaha has added an articulated keel extension for 2015 that improves not just slow-speed managing --where jet boats tend to wander--but also in high-speed turns. The keel--a hinged metal tab--is connected to and actuated by the starboard jet nozzle.
 
The SX240 has comfy lodging and a clever layout. In the stern is a swim platform with two inset chairs that have clever wet gear stowage supporting them, huge speakers, and a lot of beverage holders. Up forward the SX240 has a grand bow seating area. There's also a U-shaped, wraparound lounge in the home cockpit, and double swiveling captain's chairs behind both sides of the split console.
 
Noteworthy in the helm of both 2015 and newer versions is Yamaha's new seven-inch, touch-screen Connext panel, which allows you to control many of the SX240's systems. Additionally, it gives performance and engine information. The LCD panel is a clever way to combine the typical confusing array of switches, gauges, and dials found on the dashes of several boats.
 
Looking to your game up? The AR240 model includes a watersports tower and enhanced graphics, while the 242 Restricted and 242 Restricted S add seating and trim enhancements.

CHAPARRAL 243 VORTEX VR: SPEED AND ELEGANCE

One of two distinct versions in the 243 range, the 243 Vortex VR looks as if it is a cuddy cabin or little express cruiser at first glance; it has more tasteful and conservative styling than its Vortex VRX sister, which is directed at wake-surfers and watersports folks. Do not worry, however --if you would like to wake-surf with this conservative style you will be able to add Chaparral's Aerial Surf Package. The choice adds an aerial attachment platform and three ballast tanks.
 
Bring together as much as 11 of friends and family on the 243 Vortex VR, which has a total capacity of 12 people. It's possible to use the bow seating as two forward-facing chaise lounges, or as a Adirondack seats area for four or five people. Aft from the cockpit is a sizable U-shaped lounge for approximately six individuals, while two extra seats are situated at the stern to be used once the ship isn't underway. A captain's seat sits aft of the helm console and a single-person seat sits behind the vent console, which also happens to house a mind.
 
Twin Rotax 200-horsepower engines are regular on the 243 Vortex VR, good for around 52 MPH of top-notch performance. If you crave more noninvasive grunt and higher top-end rates, then a pair of 250-horsepower Rotax motors is an option. A noteworthy feature with these motors is lateral thrust controller, which drops a diverter gate supporting every thrust nozzle to direct thrust outboard. This enhances side-by-side steering in maneuvering rates, like when pulling into a slip or up into a gas dock.
 
Whether happy hour wake or cruising surfing is in your itinerary, the Chaparral 243Vortex VR should be close to the peak of your jet boat buying list.
