Scarab is Back - Powered by BRP

[coolheiser44]

This is very exciting news - The world renowned Scarab brand is back and will be powered by the Rotax 1503cc that we're all familiar with.

Press-Release

In an interview, I believe it was Roch Lambert, stated that the Scarabs will be 16'-24' jet boats exclusively...sounds a lot like SeaDoo's old boat line-up, I wonder if SeaDoo sold their hull molds to Scarab?

They've been testing the Scarab's since January. I'm crossing my fingers that they get the design right using the Scarab name - hoping it doesn't look like another unexciting bayliner or sea-ray...
