Owner Experience Review

Owners use 255 ID Openas a family day-boat, often cruising 12–20 miles from home to beach out. As a trailerable weekender, test boats were paired with a factory tandem-axle trailer, and the layout supports watersports with a T-top tow point, a tailgate-style transom, and available surf-wake features. With the optional fishing package (baitwell, rod holders, pedestal chairs), it can also switch to casual angling without reconfiguring the whole deck.

Underway, press the throttle and this jet boat jumps on plane with a strong hole-shot, then carves with sports-car agility when conditions are fair. The light hull and 20° transom deadrise deliver a dry ride in moderate chop for its class but are less forgiving in larger seas, and low-speed control is helped by iNR and lateral thrust for docking; several owners who worried about idle-speed canal handling found it manageable in practice.

On board, seating is plentiful with configurable backrests and a sunpad, and the tailgate creates a truly usable swim platform, but some testers found the helm seat close to the console and owners characterize the driver’s bench as firm enough that they stand on longer cruises; porta-potti and add-on electronics are common installs. Service points are thought out, with an engine-box hatch about 26 ¾ inches high and batteries and exhaust outboard of the engines, and SCARAB’s closed-loop-cooled Rotax power (150–300 hp options) has shown good early reliability in owner reports. The tradeoffs most cited are fuel appetite and limited range on the stock tank—owners mention figures around 50–56 gallons and examples like roughly 44 miles round-trip using about 23 gallons—and a handful of small issues such as zip-in canvas that can flap at speed, early corrosion on the stainless ladder and tailgate hinge in salt, bolster-pin hardware backing off, and an occasional “crunchy” steering feel tied to the cable/hydraulic setup.

Pros and Cons

• Strong hole-shot and quick on-plane performance.
• Versatile layout for beaching, watersports, and optional fishing, with plentiful configurable seating and a tailgate swim platform.
• Closed-loop-cooled Rotax engines with good early reliability and thoughtfully arranged service access.
• Dry in moderate chop for its class but less forgiving in larger seas.
• Owners report the boat is thirsty with limited range on the stock tank.
• Ergonomic and hardware niggles include a tight helm-seat relationship for some, firm seat padding, flapping zip-in canvas, early corrosion on some stainless parts, bolster hardware loosening, and occasional crunchy steering feel.
