Went to the dark side

[DJMattyT]

So today I traded in my Scarab 195 HOI. This was my first boat and my god did I truly enjoy it. It was time to upgrade to something a little bigger and hopefully a few less issues (Yamaha 242X). I am going to miss this boat and was almost in tears trading it in! Just wanted to share some awesome memories with you guys and hope everyone is enjoying their boats like I did!! Thank you to @ScarabMike over the years always helping out with things!

I think you made the right decision. No point in owning a boat if it's in the shop for half the season.

It’s funny because it was never really in the shop other than the first season. It’s all minor BS issues, the engine has been rock solid which is good!

The fit and finish on theYamaha boats are noticably better in my opinion .

HAHA, pics are awesome! The tint is sick and the flag is hilarious... Curious as to what mount you used for the Rev8 and did you have to drill or enlarge the existing hole on the tower?

Yeah no clamp. I just enlarged the whole that was there

Scarab makes a great looking boat! Quality I’ve heard is suspect. Welcome to the Yamaha family!
