Overview
The Scarab 255 Open ID is a 25-foot center console boat from Scarab Jet, designed as an evolution of the popular 195 model with an innovative tailgate. This new model emphasizes family-friendly functionality, combining versatility for water sports, cruising, and fishing. Its design integrates industrial aesthetics with practical utility, resulting in a boat that accommodates multiple passengers comfortably and supports a variety of recreational activities.
Exterior Design and Deck Layout
A standout feature of the Scarab 255 Open ID is its transom tailgate, which significantly enhances the boat’s utility. The tailgate, measuring 21 inches in height, is supported by gas-assist struts and secured with latches at both ends, ensuring smooth operation. Covered with optional soft marine matting, it forms a spacious platform ideal for launching water sports. The aft deck measures 3 feet 7 inches fore and aft and 5 feet 4 inches wide, complemented by a small 10-inch step deck for boarding from floating docks. Stainless steel reboarding ladders are mounted both under the platform and optionally at the center when the tailgate is lowered. Forward of the transom, two bench seats with removable backrests allow flexible seating arrangements, including stadium-style backward-facing seats for spectators or sun pads when the cushions are removed. The bow features U-shaped seating with foam in-wall bolsters and removable backrests that convert into forward-facing chaise lounges. A filler cushion can transform this area into a sun pad. Storage is ample, with tapering lockers beneath the bow seats, space for carry-on coolers secured by chocks, and a large foredeck locker housing ground tackle and a folding beach ladder. The boat’s hull includes an impact graphic made from marine mat material to protect below the stainless steel rub rail.
Helm and Controls
The helm station is well-appointed with a tempered glass windshield providing protection. The dashboard is straightforward, featuring twin tachometers flanking a digital display that provides speed, water temperature, and engine diagnostics. Standard equipment includes cruise control, lighted toggle switches, and a smartphone holder with dual USB charging ports. A 9-inch Simrad Go9 touchscreen multifunction display is mounted to starboard. Engine controls consist of a single throttle and shift lever that electronically synchronizes the twin engines and manages the directional buckets. The helm seat accommodates three people, with the captain centered and companion seats on either side, all upholstered in textured vinyl. The captain’s seat folds down for leaning or standing, and the leaning post is constructed from welded tubular steel with textured coating for secure handholds.
Power and Performance
Powered by twin 300 horsepower Rotax 1.7-liter jet engines, the Scarab 255 Open ID weighs approximately 4,705 pounds when fully loaded with fuel and passengers. It achieved a top speed of 53.5 miles per hour at 7,500 RPM during testing. The manufacturer’s fuel consumption data indicates an economical cruise at 5,000 RPM, delivering just under 12 gallons per hour at roughly 28 miles per hour; the test boat recorded 34 miles per hour at this RPM. The boat planes quickly, reaching planing speed in 3.7 seconds and accelerating to 20 and 30 miles per hour in 4.7 and 5.8 seconds respectively. Handling is agile and responsive, with the ability to execute sharp turns without significant speed loss and moderate bow rise on acceleration. The jet propulsion system eliminates the need for lower unit trim, and the hull’s sharp forefoot and 20-degree dead rise provide smooth passage through waves, cushioning re-entry and minimizing spray. Intelligent neutral and reverse controls, along with lateral thrust capabilities, enhance docking precision.
Accommodations and Amenities
The Scarab 255 Open ID offers versatile seating configurations suitable for up to 13 people or 2,100 pounds, whichever is greater. Seating areas can be adapted for socializing, sunbathing, or water sports observation. The center console includes a forward-facing bench seat and a head/changing room accessed via a hatch that opens upward on gas struts, providing a 12-inch step down and 5 feet 5 inches of headroom over an optional porta-potty. A sunshade measuring 7 by 4 feet can be installed above the bow seating using carbon fiber poles, while a standard canvas T-top or optional fiberglass hardtop offers additional protection over the helm and part of the deck. Storage solutions include insulated compartments that can serve as ice chests or live wells, and large lockers for gear and ground tackle. Optional packages include a fishing package with casting platforms and live well conversion, as well as a custom painted trailer with surge brakes and fold-away tongue.
Conclusion
The Scarab 255 Open ID is a thoughtfully designed center console that balances innovative features with practical functionality. Its unique transom tailgate, flexible seating arrangements, and robust jet propulsion system make it well-suited for families engaging in a variety of water activities, including wakeboarding, cruising, and coastal fishing. Agile handling, rapid acceleration, and smooth ride characteristics complement its versatile layout. Overall, the Scarab 255 Open ID represents a compelling option for boaters seeking a multi-purpose vessel with a modern design and reliable performance.
