Scarab 195: BoatTEST Review

Reviewed by Jeff Hammond

Overview

The Scarab 195 Open Fish is a versatile watercraft designed to fulfill multiple roles including fishing, towing water toys, cruising, and relaxing at sandbars. Often referred to as a fishing ski, this model distinguishes itself from other jet-powered boats through its angling capabilities. Powered by a 250-horsepower Rotax engine, the boat weighs approximately 3,250 pounds with two people aboard and a partial fuel load. Its jet propulsion system, combined with safety features such as a shaft guard and absence of a propeller, enhances both performance and user safety.

Power and Performance

The Scarab 195 Open Fish is equipped with a 250-horsepower Rotax engine that drives a jet pump, offering a top speed of 41.9 miles per hour at 7,900 RPM. Its most efficient cruising speed is 26.8 miles per hour at 6,500 RPM, where it consumes nine gallons per hour and achieves nearly three miles per gallon, providing a practical range of 83 miles with a 10% fuel reserve from its 31-gallon tank. Acceleration tests showed the boat reaching 20 miles per hour in 5.7 seconds and 30 miles per hour in 8.9 seconds, with minimal bow rise during hard acceleration and a flat running attitude once on plane. Maneuverability, often a challenge for jet boats at low speeds, is enhanced through a machined aluminum reverse bucket independent of the jet nozzle. This design enables thrust vectoring for precise turning and station keeping, with responsive bow pivoting even at rest. The fly-by-wire shift and throttle controls allow fine thrust adjustments. Handling during sharp turns and choppy conditions was predictable and smooth. An optional upgrade to a 200-horsepower supercharged three-cylinder Rotax engine is available, both engines featuring a closed-loop cooling system to extend engine life, especially in saltwater environments.

Exterior Design and Deck Features

The Scarab 195 Open Fish offers practical and comfortable exterior features. At the bow, four storage hatches, an anchor locker with a tie-off tab, and an insulated built-in cooler are integrated. Removable and padded seating with closed-cell EVA foam backrests can be converted into a full sun pad with an additional center cushion. The helm features a custom gauge cluster monitoring engine functions and enabling neutral speed adjustment for enhanced low-speed control. Tilt steering, a molded storage tray, and a compass are standard, though the compass placement could be improved for easier navigation. The center console face swings upward on gas shocks, revealing a changing room with space for an optional head. The console door includes a molded seat with a cushion. The folding T-top can be lowered via turn knobs on either side of the console, and two tow points on the T-top and stern provide towing flexibility. The helm leaner seat, mounted atop the stern casting deck, swivels 180 degrees to face aft and is flanked by twin jump seats that fold flat to expand deck space. Access to the supercharged Rotax engine is provided beneath the helm leaner seat via a gas-shock-assisted hatch, with an optional built-in fire suppression system available for added safety. A distinctive feature is the actuating tailgate, which in its raised position offers seating facing aft with a stainless steel handrail for safety. When deployed, it extends the stern casting platform, increasing fishing space and facilitating reboarding. The tailgate is sturdy and supported by gas shocks to prevent slamming.

Fishing Amenities and Versatility

The Scarab 195 Open Fish is thoughtfully designed to support serious angling without sacrificing family-friendly versatility. The bow area converts from seating to fishing mode by stowing sun pads and installing an optional fishing seat on a flush-mounted pedestal base. While the boat is pre-wired for an optional trolling motor, a clear mounting location was not evident. The center bow casting deck houses an insulated drink cooler that doubles as a fish box. An optional folding seat is available just aft of the helm leaner for a fishing companion. Essential fishing features include a plumbed bait well integrated into the starboard stern casting deck, gunnel-mounted rod holders, and horizontal rod holders with storage pouches on both port and starboard sides. Systems access is conveniently located under a hatch on the port side of the stern casting deck, revealing the starting battery, breaker panel, and battery switch. The jet drive’s safety benefits are notable, eliminating the risk of injury or damage to sensitive environments such as grass flats.

Trailer and Additional Features

The test boat was delivered on a custom-built trailer coated with an industrial finish similar to a pickup bed liner, enhancing durability and protection. The overall design of the Scarab 195 Open Fish balances performance, safety, and multi-use functionality, making it suitable for a wide range of recreational activities without compromising on fishing capabilities.

Conclusion

The Scarab 195 Open Fish successfully integrates the attributes of a fishing boat with the agility and safety of a jet-powered watercraft. Its thoughtful design features, including the actuating tailgate, versatile seating arrangements, and advanced jet propulsion system, provide a smooth and controlled ride with excellent maneuverability. The boat’s fishing amenities and family-friendly features make it a practical choice for those seeking a multi-functional vessel that performs well in various recreational scenarios. Overall, the Scarab 195 Open Fish offers a compelling blend of performance, safety, and versatility.
