38 Scarab part 3
 
To summarize the difference in the 2 boats: In the Scarab its all about the journey, In the 400SS its all about the destination. In other words, the Scarab is a blast getting there.
The 400SS is boring getting there, but once you are there it is awesome! The Scarab is for sale, PM me for info......

very nice Scarab and nice Formula as well. Two totally different boats, each has its purpose. Its hard to get one that does everything ya want.
What did ya go with for power in the Formula? Gas or diesels?

This statement hit the nail on the head!!!!!! I put my 400SS up for sale "locally" on our club site yesterday, girlfriend is not happy about it at all...... I went from a 36 Concept to the 400SS Formula, love the ride,comfort and all the ammentities, getting there sucks but once your there you have everything, but feel like I want another performance boat???? I'm really torn on what to do....
Congrats on the new boat, you will LOVE it...

Thanks for the compliments! I went with the 496HO's for power. Lower maintenence, closed cooling, and runs about 52 mph. I love the bow thruster, makes docking so easy! The cabin is great, here is my first cabin pix.

Well now, that trio makes it all worth it! :D
