This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.

Important notes on articles:

• Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
• Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
• If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

Thoughts on one vs the other by irishski

First, I do not have or have not been in either a scarab or a Heydey. I only have experience with Nautique and Mastercraft. However, looking at the two the Heydey is specifically built for wakesports specifically surfing and would likely be far better than a scarab if surfing is your goal. Scarab took over what was formerly seadoo boats. I'm sure the Scarab is a plenty good boat, but a jet is far from ideal for wake specific watersports. They come with towers, ballast etc... but looks can be deceiving. The Heydey is a V-drive inboard which should be a much better tow boat. From looking at it the Heydey is built only to create a solid wake for surfing and wakeboarding. The scarab is built to be a runabout jetboat. They are two very different animals. Almost like comparing your pontoon to a tournament slalom boat. You probably want to test drive both as the wake will likely be vastly different between the two. A good wake is critical to having a good surf experience.
