Why Scarab Boats Are Perfect for Lake Havasu

Scarab builds some of the most capable sport boats for the Lake Havasu market. The twin-Rotax jet drive setup means no exposed propeller — ideal when you’re pulling into the sandy beaches along the Bill Williams River corridor or idling through the crowded narrows below the London Bridge. No prop also means no cavitation in shallow water, and no prop strike risk for swimmers.

The 195, 215, 255, and 285 HP models all share the same clean fiberglass hull architecture, aggressive color schemes, and sport-forward feature sets. Compared to traditional sterndrive boats at similar price points, Scarab’s operating costs are lower — jet drives require fewer oil changes, have no bellows to rot, and handle the alkaline Colorado River water better than outdrive leg components.

Buying a Pre-Owned Scarab in Lake Havasu

Scarab boats are durable, but jet drives require specific maintenance discipline. When evaluating a pre-owned Scarab, inspect:

  • Rotax engine hours — well-maintained Rotax engines go 500–800 hours; check for service records
  • Jet pump wear ring — the plastic wear ring erodes over time; replacement runs $300–$600 per pump
  • Impeller condition — sand and debris from beach operation chips impeller blades; listen for vibration at idle
  • Bilge and hull — check for water intrusion signs around the transom drain area
  • Electronics — Scarab’s touchscreen display units are expensive to replace; test all functions

Scarab Boats FAQ — Lake Havasu

Are Scarab boats good for Lake Havasu?

Yes — Scarab’s jet drive is one of the best choices for Havasu’s variable conditions. The Colorado River below the dam has sandy shallows, hard-bottomed coves, and crowded no-wake zones where a propless boat shines. The 215 and 255 models are popular for day trips with families and groups of up to 10–12 people.

How fast does a Scarab boat go?

Top speed varies by model. The Scarab 195 reaches approximately 55 mph. The 215 hits 60–65 mph. The larger 255 and 285 models, despite more weight, run 60+ mph due to higher combined horsepower. Havasu’s long straightaways on the main channel are perfect for full-throttle runs in the morning before traffic builds.

What does a used Scarab boat cost?

Pre-owned Scarab 195 models typically run $28,000–$38,000 in the Arizona market. Scarab 215s range $35,000–$50,000. The 255 runs $50,000–$70,000 for 2018–2022 models in good condition. Pricing is highly condition-dependent — low-hour examples with clean service records command a premium. Contact us for current market comps.

Who makes Scarab boats?

Scarab is a brand owned by Wellcraft Marine, which is itself part of the Genmar Holdings family. The Rotax jet engines are made by BRP (Bombardier Recreational Products) — the same company behind Sea-Doo personal watercraft. This engine-sharing means Rotax parts and service are widely available across the country.
