Scarab jet boat

Anyone have experiance with these? Made from 96-98, powered by a Merc 4.3 with a Volvo jet drive. For my next boat I want something that can handle rougher water better than a 'typical' jet boat, and would like to stay with a jet drive (though I do like outboards) because of the shallow water here in the NC sounds, and since I don't think I'll be able to afford an Eagle Outlaw anytime soon this seems like a cool alternative for a rougher water jet...

How do they drive, handle waves etc?

Lake St Clair is not "jet friendly" with all the sea-weed.. It's now for sale (or trade for an alpha model)
