Welcome aboard!
 
Thx again! It should arrive at Chatlee's on Friday, hopefully.
 
New guy here. Owns Scarab 165 (non Turbo) looking to upgrade to Yamaha AR195 soon :) anyone make a similar jump? Curious at the low speed manuverability Yamah vs Rotax engine. Love the 165 but want something a bit bigger (and faster) :)

Welcome. I don't have any experience with either of those boats. But good luck with your search.

Welcome aboard. . . . . . . My only advice is getting the biggest boat you can reasonably afford as it will save you money in the long run. Otherwise you will be upgrading again real soon.
 
Welp, I just found out you cannot even buy or register the AR195 in California!! Emissions on the Supercharger. Really bummed. Wanted 19ft as it fits in my garage. Maybe I'll just keep my 165 for now :(
 
Oops. Sorry about that. Um... move to Texas?

:)

Oh, and welcome to the board!
 
Register it here in Georgia, enjoy it out there in Cali?

That's a bummer. It's probably too soon to be able to find a used one and bring it into California too.
 
My first post. Excited to pick up my 2018 212 Limited as soon as the ice is out. Love this site. So much great info!
