Default Scarab III to sell

I might have what you are looking for, a 1985 Scarab III, boat is clean and has a nice shine, 400H, twin 454 TRS drives just rebuilt ($5K spent having them rebuilt), boat hours approx. 700 hrs -- motors have been rebuilt, runs good, silent choice, heat & A/C, modern looking graphics on hull (approx. 8K in graphics), booming sound system. Boat has spent its winter in-doors. Boat is clean inside and out with a 1995 triple axel Tropic Trailor. I am looking for $30K -- Steve @ 847-561-5669

If you're not Bob, I'm sorry about this, lol.

jeff32: Thank you for the compliment.

dont mention it, it was not in the way in the least. You are going to love the ScarabIII. I have a 38 Donzi ZX and also an 89 all original ScarabIII and to tell the truth the Scarab is the one that is easiest to do long weekends on. It is a very comfortable boat to say the least and is well layed out. Glad to help out a fellow ScarabIII owner

Apathetic,

There is a really nice 34' Scarab III on ebay. I bid on it, but stopped at 24,900. I think his reserve is pretty close to that.
It has 400Hp 454'S, TRS drives rebuilt in 2007, 700 hours on the boat, newer interior. All in all, a pretty nice boat. Get on ebay, go to ebay motors and put in keywork scarab. Hope this helps!

Hey Steve!

I started typing a response b4 my brain was in gear! See you have the Scarab posted here already, and saw what you want for it. It's worth all of that - nice ride. Let me work on the wife. I want to buy a cat, but she misses the ride of the Scarab we used to have. Let me know if you don't get the results you were looking for on Ebay. I might pull the trigger on your boat. Thanks
