Well concidering I can't buy a new Scarab anymore you must not be talking about them

You must be talking about a bigger Baja for myself!

Any Baja would be a step up for you bro!

Dude!

I tell you after what Wellcraft has pulled. Me as well as some of the other scarab owners are already talking about swapping.

Personally myself, I'm going for a Top Gun or an Active thunder!!

I've already owned a Baja and I wasn't the happiest with it. Of course this was back in 93.

I did ride in a friend of mine 36 baja with 500's. I have to admit it was a nice ride and totally different than the one I owned previously, but it wasn't enough to make me go back to them.

And just for the record on this board!!

I busted a 29 outlaws ASS and also a 33 outlaws ASS with my scarab!!!

(My whipple kinda snuck up on them!!!))

29 Scarab

Come to me. I'll see you in the 4-6 waves. Not bashing your scarab but I'll challenge anyone who can beat the combination of wave handling, speed, safety reliability and price. Take in consideration the WHOLE package.

bajalion,

Not trying to bust your chop, but I think that 32 you have would have a little problem problems in 6's running hard.

A friend of mine had a 32 with 525's and had a problem running real hard in anything over 5's.

The day I beat the 33 we were in 2 1/2 to 4's.

I'm sure you have a rock solid combo from the sound of it.

But I would be careful what you wish for challenging anyone!!

You might have some takers that would leave you on the porch with the pups!!!!!

Baja Daze hasn't warned you about me has he!!LOL

Generally when I get challenged on Lake Erie I've got my wife and three young kids on board. I usually give it a little burst if the waves aren't too bad.

Yes I know there plenty of boats that are faster and handle bigger waves, But for 66K and can cruise the harbors quiet as any crusier?

There was a guy that raced JAWs who is in the same harbor. They got on him so bad on noise he sold the Skater (46' I think) race boat and the pleasure Ocean Express 48' and bought a searay after a legal battle with the state.

Bring a loud boat my way, I'll be running, they'll have a $500 fine.

bajlion,

I went and checked your website out! Sweet boat! I have no doubts it will haul ASS! I've heard about big water in Erie!! Thank god we don't have noise restrictions where I boat or the old team Yahoo boat that runs in our lake would be in real trouble!! Definitely a good price!!

Now for whoever that dloftis or leftnut:

You might as well keep that lil' hammer in the kiddie pool!!!

You mess with the bull!! You get the horns! And as for the comment lead sled!!

Bring your ASS!!! I was in the mood for an appetizer before I take on a real offshore boat!!

Good choice on the Gun....I am on my way up to either a cafe or a gun myself. I would stay with a bigger outlaw (a 40) but I just can't offord it! When you look at the used price of guns and cafe's they are cheaper than the newer (used) outlaws...For what you get I should say. early 90's gun/cafe anywhere from 85- up. I like the newer Outlaws but you just can't touch them for a reasonable price.

Now now... Did I say mine was faster? NO! Just asked how fast yours was.

BTW: I can bet you that Brad Perry's little hammer could hand you your ass, so long as the water was flat enough to keep the drive wet. Have you seen that thing? GEEZ!

lol... I don't mean any harm, just playin'.

But seriously, how fast does it run and with what power?

Just ribbin' ya!!

As far as how fast scarab runs. To be quite honest I'm still playing with props. I did have a few tricks done to the engine before the whipple went on. The motor was completely gone through. I had zero gap piston rings, Crane HP gold roller rockers.

I'm still dialing it in, but right now as it sits, according to my GPS speedo I'm running in the upper 70's. I think if I got the prop right I could be in the 80's. With work sending me all over the U.S. its hard to spend a large amount of quality time dialiong it in!!

I know it ROCKS though!!!
