H2Xmark,

My comments were for Bashers in general. Not directed at any one person or at any one thread or post!

I hear you loud and clear, I'm just very tired of Bashers in general.

Well it was my thread that started all this. I am not the one that made the comments and they don't bother me at all. It is just funny how all this gets started. I choose the Scarab because I know the original owner and the price was right, I was in the market for a 29 outlaw but I can not touch one for what I paid for this scarab. I only posted something to the list because I had to tell someone, no one in our local area knows I bought the boat yet. I was just excited and couldn't wait to tell someone... I guess it added a little excitement to the holiday season. I like to hear about other people getting new/used boats so I thought someone might to hear about what I got, brand x y or z does not matter to me.

The boat has Bravo's with external steering, tie bar, mech. trim indicators, nose cones, stainless headers, big K planes, and new flame arrestors. i agree it is a little slow, 69 GPS, that is with unlabbed stock props and the original computer mapping so I think there is a little more speed to be had.

Nice boat. CONGRATS!!!!!!!!!:D

Have good luck with the new boat...I love boating no matter what (even sailing but I get seasick :drool: ). I TRY to never throw the first stone.

ALL boats have some redeeming qualities. If you can afford one and it makes you happy you are truly blessed. I have the absolute best boat! (for me of course)

I just figured I'd put a LITTLE dig back at Joe. No harm intended. Joe's comment was very light.

I really just don't like bashers and wish they would register www.offshoresucks.com and stay there.:D

Nice Scarab! Id be proud as hell to own that boat! Post some pics here when you get some new ones.

I agree, Joes post was light, I think just giving the new owner a hard time. ;)

Now, the dude that goes by "jb" is quite the jackass. Ive seen his posts before and according to his profile, the dude doesnt even have a boat, yet he's a hardcore BAJA basher. :rolleyes: Just read his post on that thread for starters..........

Hey guys, well Dock you are right, after reading your post i can see where you did not direct it at any one person:D :D unlike some other people,and I hope i did not get out of line with my post, if so I am sorry about that. And i agree about the Basher's that are constantly talking trash, they need to find another home, Joe was just playing a bit with the new guy, it was all in fun. I think this winter weather is getting to me!!! I need to hit the water, :crazy:

That's pretty good on that Scarb speed 69. My firends is a 2002 and only tops at 65 with 350s and Bravos.

Like the graphics too.

Tsteph:

I think your Scarab is a great looking boat. Never owned a Scarab, but I always did think they look cool, and yours seems to be a primo example. I like my Baja, but if the right deal came along on a Scarab or even a Fountain, I would have to consider it. That doesn't mean that a person has to own it for the rest of their life. Like Doc, I am also tired of the needless Baja bashing by a certain few individuals.

If they don't like Baja boats, that's fine with me, but don't tell me that because I do like them that I'm second class!

pwam1 01-02-2004 09:11 PM

By the way, tsteph, most people can't tell the difference between 69 or 75mph by watching a boat, so I wouldn't sweat it, if I were you. 69 is quite respectible without spending mucho $ for more hp.

Not me! :D Still here. I like visiting the forums of the boats I have owned....or might like to own. I have 6 years of experience in two Brand B's. ;) No bashing here. Just interested in what's going on. And throwing my .02 in now and then. ;)

BTW, since this thread is really about the 29 Scarab....we have a club member with one for sale (single 502). He bought a Donzi ZF and would love to move it.
