A Masterpiece of 2024: Scarab Jet Boats' Sport Series Jet Boat 285 ID
The 2024 Scarab Sport Series Jet Boat 285 ID is an impressive member of the Jet Boats category. With this delightful blend of modern technology and time-honoured Scarab craftsmanship, there appear to be no compromises. A perfect aquatic companion, its meticulously designed features are set to make your every voyage a memorable one.
Style and Build
The first impression is of a clean white deck with a choice of exterior color schemes to suit your style. Crafted onto this, the gleaming stainless-steel fittings - from the bow and stern eyes to the cleats - are tastefully interspersed. The platform bow and stern swim are supported by an enduring fiberglass stringer system, which ensures a stable and seas-worthy performance. A special mention is deserved for the auto-inspired design of the windshield (with walk-thru) and the locking compression latches on the deck lids that add to both convenience and safety.
Relaxed On-Board Experience
The cockpit is embellished with customizable U-shaped seating, comfortable flip-up bucket bolsters, and a neutral interior color scheme with a black accent. Extra features like a water intrusion management system, wireless charging for cell phones, and superior custom-contoured vinyl upholstery augment the first-rate boating experience. The adaptability of the aft seating that can be transformed into rear-facing and the sundeck with a convertible backrest ensure optimum utilization of the boat's space, aligning comfort with utility.
Entertainment and Navigation
Moving on to the entertainment sector, the 285 ID is loaded with an AM/FM stereo managed by a remote at the helm, Bluetooth, and auxiliary input options. Moreover, the well-placed speakers enhance the boating experience. The helm brings modern sophistication with a touch screen command center, dual-screen GPS plotter, lighted switches, and a depth finder for your safety and convenience.
Performance and Power
A maximum horsepower of 600 fuels the Scarab Sport Series Jet Boat 285 ID, making it a powerful contender in its category. Its intelligent neutral and reverse (INR), automatic bilge pump, and engine blower contribute to its solid performance.
In Conclusion
Scarab Jet Boats' Sport Series Jet Boat 285 ID encapsulates the spirit of modern jet boating. Its well-thought-out design, refined amenities, powerful performance, and sleek aesthetics make it worthy of consideration for any jet boat enthusiast or prospective buyer.

The See Dealer Cost Story
When our family wanted to purchase our first boat we tried to find information for research. However the only information available at that time was sales brochures. All of the product information originated from the manufactures. The only price we could find was the retail price listings or MSRP (Manufacturer Suggested Retail Price). Magazines featured articles, and had really great photo layouts, it only offered product description and the (MSRP) retail price.
We went to the dealership where the sales guy held all the cards. The best thing he had going for him was our lack of information. We tried to wrangle on price without any real success. We bought the boat, but we paid too much. After that experience we felt there had to be a better way.
So we started this website because we did not want anyone else to feel disadvantaged like our family did that day. We discussed what we would like to see. We found experts in their fields and started asking questions. We then put together a team to research products and most importantly the dealer price. We started with boats and realized that there was a great need for information on many kinds of large purchase recreational vehicles and products.
Look when you visit a dealership for a boat, motorcycle or camper, if you have not done your research your negotiation for that item will start with the Manufactures Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). The highest price you could pay. The sales person will try to see what you know and size you up. If you do not have product knowledge including what the cost was to the dealer – you are going to pay too much.
See Dealer Cost™ offers product information that is in-depth and understandable. You can build your ideal product on line and see what it cost before you walk into a dealership. See Dealer Cost™ gives you the product options and most importantly the cost without the pressure of someone trying to talk you into something.
Knowledge is power.
After you find the product you want on See Dealer Cost™ and configure the options. You can save it to view or reference later. You can also print out what you put together (with the price). In turn you can use this information to negotiate your best deal.
What if the item is used? We are making available all the information we have gathered over the years so you can research to see the original cost. Even on used items you can use our site to negotiate your best deal.
Our passion here at See Dealer Cost™ is to give people power and knowledge. We were at a disadvantage once and we did not like the feeling.
By the way this great idea we had to build a website with this information. We had to fight to be able to bring this information to you. See Dealer Cost™ was supposed to be a one hit wonder. The manufactures magazines that they send to dealers said we would be dead in no time. They pounded their fists on their desks and said the consumer did not want or need this information. They said we would put them out of business. We were sued multiple times by manufacturers for this information. We are still here.
Why would they not want you to be able to see and use this information? They were afraid that you the consumer would be the true winner.
As it turns out – this information has not put anyone out of business. A consumer who is knowledgeable is confident buyer.
So we continue on with our team of experienced and expert people. We constantly update product lines and most importantly the cost so you have information to make your best deal.
We are proud of the team and proud to be able to assist you in your recreational purchase. We do not sell any of the items listed – we just gather the information.
The products include thousands of boats, motors, campers, motorcycles and more. We are constantly working to expand the information we present for you.
We all have families. We hope your buying experience is a better one than our family’s first purchase. Use this website to be a knowledgeable more confident buyer.
We hope we are a valuable resource for you. Enjoy your purchase.
Thanks,
See Dealer Cost™ Team Members
