Bit the bullet!

[Winerocks]

Well, just made a deal on a 2015 Impulse HO 215. Only 17 hours on each engine, which are the 250hp variant. Overall the boat is in very good condition; upholstery is perfect, engine bay is spotless, and only a bit of dock rash. It has what seem to be the usual issues such as windshield shifting and the rusting trailer bunk bolts. I'll post more pictures once I get it home a cleaned up. Can't wait to get this thing on the water!

Congratulations man. Looks like a very nice boat. 17 hours is brand new. How far did you have to travel to find it?

Congrats Sir! Keep the pictures coming! Looking forward to seeing more.

The boat was a couple of hours away, in southern Wisconsin. I’m so excited, I haven’t slept in a couple of days!

Wow! Had the boat out this afternoon on the Kankakee River in IL. This thing is scary fast! Took a bit to get used to reversing, but once I got it, it was great. Wife, dogs, and kids had a blast Only found 1 nut in the bilge. It rattled off the mounting bracket of fold-down center seat. No biggie; by the other Scarab posts, I was expecting to find at least a nut or 2, LOL!

Congrats. Had my 255 for 2 seasons now and couldn't be happier. Just spent the weekend on KY Lake and it was described as the best boating weekend yet.

Beautiful boat - what's the deal with the windshield shifting though?

Windshield shift some info here

 

[Winerocks]

It seems like a fairly common thing for the windshields to separate a bit; in some cases enough for the middle section to fall through. Some more experienced boat people say it is very common in bowriders in general. Mine has moved around 1/2”. Apparently the fix is relatively easy. I haven’t done anything about it, but plan to this season.
