You're right Randy, sounds like the owner put a lot into it. MGD does good work and has a great reputation up here.
Ted's yankin' my chain, $70k wouldn't be enough for me to pull the trigger on a purchase though, because I have no money.

Someone will come along and buy it, they'll be hard pressed to find a boat that rides as nice as a 43' Scarab, especially at the speeds that one can attain. Very rare.
