well guys . . . .
 

it is with a tear in my eye that i say farewall to the Chris Craft owners section. my 260 is sold . . . . well not actually sold but i just traded it for a 1989 ScarabIII (yea . . . i cant believe it either) its actually a pretty nice turn key boat needing a good cleaning and a few things hear and there. the owner saw my boat a few times this last summer at a few of the water front resteraunts we have here and struck a deal i couldnt refuse. he has been lookin to get a smaller boat and had a Stinger before.

my 260 has been the best boat i have ever had, cant tell you how much i love that thing. it has served my very well since the day i got it. you know . . you can take the man out of the chris craft but you cant take the chris craft out of the man :D i will still be a regular to this section. theres alot of great projects going on and i thnk i can still lend a bit of knowledge. :cool:


if anybody knows someone lookin for a smokin deal on a ScarabIII let me know . . gotta move this thing to keep the 38 Scarab :cool:

Re: well guys . . . .
 

what size is it? year? engine? drive?

Re: well guys . . . .
 

1989 34 foot Scarab, Merc 365Mags with Bravos. pretty nice package actually this thing reminds me of a giant 260 Stinger. really well layed out with plenty of room. askin 20K if you know anyone lookin it will be listed in the classifieds and i think i will run it on EBAY for a week to. :cool: :drink:

Re: well guys . . . .
 

I wish I was in a position to buy a boat this year!! Is the scarab turn key ready to go?

Re: well guys . . . .
 

yes, it was in use up to this fall.

Re: well guys . . . .
 

where was this deal last spring!!! I know when I am ready to buy another boat deals like this will not be around.

Re: well guys . . . .
 

i dont expect this to last to long. first person that comes and looks at it will leave with it. this thing is a great party go-fast boat. full shore power, fridge, huge cabin, blah blah blah. like i said this thing really reminds me of a giant 260 Stinger. layed out to entertain :D :D

Re: well guys . . . .
 

I would buy it if I were in the market this year,too much work at the house for a new boat right now.That is a smokin deal!!
I could prob swing it if the wife would let me but I usually get what I want anyway but not this time!! :(

Re: well guys . . . .
 

I was gonna sell it last fall but I got promoted at work so I kept it.

When I get it out in the spring I am gonna think about selling it again or maybe keeping it.

Re: well guys . . . .

Re: well guys . . . .

Re: well guys . . . .
 

Isn't RVYC an AYC club?

Plus... you are a BVYC member too, right?

We have reciprocal priveledges at ORYC.

My club is your club.

C'mon over.

Re: well guys . . . .
 

Hi Dave .... I've got a guy over here that that III might be just right up his alley ????

I'll pass this along .....

Take care !

Re: well guys . . . .
 

thanks Jerry. cant wait to see the new 41 this summer. hope you will have it at one of the LEOPA runs.

fund razor- yea . . your right. i am still learning about all the stuff that goes with the membership. first year ya know. does my AYC privilages get me in anywhere that has a pool :drink: :drink:

Re: well guys . . . .
 

Dave .... if it's runnin .... she'll be there !!! :evilb:

Re: well guys . . . .
 

You can get in any AYC club Dave.

And if you buy gas at Bayview with your membership number they give you 25 cents a gallon rebate against next year's membership fee.

My 2006 BVYC membership was like 90 bucks. (bought all my gas there. Price was better AND got the rebate.)

And you can stay at the guest dock at ORYC and get up Sunday morning and get a shower, eat a hot breakfast and even use the pump out if you need.

Re: well guys . . . .
 

Fund,

Any pics of the 26 Stinger yet?? Well, I use to have that
Alzheimers too, forget thing etc.

Have a nice weekend,


Mange

Re: well guys . . . .
 

Ha Mange.

No... actually... I forgot that the drive with the pics is not hooked up.

Maybe I will get a chance this weekend. It's the busy season at work.

It's not like I am gonna crate that puppy up and ship it overseas anyway. :D

There are a bunch of pics of it in this section tho if you browse...

I will still try to remember to hook up that other drive where all my pics are.

have a good one.

Re: well guys . . . .

Re: well guys . . . .

Re: well guys . . . .
 

Hey Dave, got anymore pics on the scarab? I got a guy who is interested.

Re: well guys . . . .
 

You are so nice about sharing though. :D

Re: well guys . . . .
 

Congrats Dave, just read about the sales of your Stinger.

The forum will miss you! We were looking (very closesly) at Fountains and Donzi's at the boat show (no, we won't be buying anything new darn it). Rob is more interested in the Donzi but there's not enough cabin room for me. The Fountain however, really starting to like that boat.

We have 3 good friends with Scarabs. We'll let you know when we had to Kelley's (usually 1st weekend in Aug) so you can bring yours by.
