Scarab’s boats are well known to the editors of Boating. In 2022, Boating’s team tested more than 100 boats - PWCs, runabouts, cruisers, dayboats, and center-consoles – and chose the Scarab Jet 285 ID, a wide-beam, luxury runabout with all the advantages of jet propulsion, as a finalist for Boat of the Year. There was plenty for the editors to praise: the huge sun pad and transom platform, enclosed head, 12-inch intuitive touchscreen interface, the 600 hp jet propulsion that’s quieter than other boats in the category. Now Scarab splashes a new contender: the Scarab Jet 235 ID. The 235 ID follows the strategy that Scarab introduced with the 285: stylish, plush, and great for the family.
