When two boats share the same hull type — in this case both the Rogue Marine Jet Stealth 2012 and the Rogue Marine The Scrambler (IB) 2013 are modified vee designs with aluminum construction — the buying decision usually comes down to a handful of practical questions: how many people are you putting on the water, how far do you trailer, and what does your tow vehicle weigh?
Size is the most obvious dividing line here. The Rogue Marine Jet Stealth 2012 measures 18,0 feet overall (2012), giving it roughly 16,0 additional feet of deck space compared to the Rogue Marine The Scrambler (IB) 2013 at 2,0 feet (2013). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Rogue Marine Jet Stealth 2012 tips the scales at 535 lbs — 327 lbs more than the Rogue Marine The Scrambler (IB) 2013 at 208 lbs. That difference is meaningful if you're working within a half-ton or three-quarter-ton truck's tow rating, especially once you factor in a motor, gear, and fuel.
For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Rogue Marine The Scrambler (IB) 2013 is rated for 6 passengers, while the Rogue Marine Jet Stealth 2012 caps at 5. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Rogue Marine The Scrambler (IB) 2013 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Rogue Marine The Scrambler (IB) 2013 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 6 passengers and at 2,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Rogue Marine Jet Stealth 2012 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 5 that costs less to run day-to-day.
