Too hard to judge without seeing some detailed pics. $8K does sound fair though. Check the floor if it is wooden. That was an area I was told to look at on my Scarab before I bought it.

As long as the stringers aren't rotted.. You can't go wrong for 8k.

You could part it out for that if you had too. But the last thing you want is rotted stringers and have the motors drop and then you have to fully de-rig and re-build stringers!!!! NOT GOOD!!
8K is good if all checks out

good Luck

Agree $8k sounds decent if the power is a good as stated. Prolly not the best choice for a raceboat but if its pleasure first, race second then probably a good choice.


Looks like someone may be jumping up to class 5! LOL

Must have pretty big power to run that fast. My buddy spent a ton on his and it would run around 60. Its a sit down boat and rides ruff as hell. But they look cool if you paint the fairing white.
