Scarab 26 Larry Smith
Hello!
A good friend of mine is looking at a Scarab 26 LS in the area of Seattle, State Washington. As me, he lives overseas and thats why I now asking if anyone in here knows about the boat and its whereabouts.
And of course the best would be if anyone in here knew the current owner of the boat. And then we get to the big question, how do you pay as safe as possible, so neither my friend or the Scarab owner get scammed. On my mail I got the title on both trailer and boat. But I really wonder if its helps my friend so much?

Luuk,
get the boat surveyed. I purchased a boat from the gentleman that is selling this boat and after investing another $22,000 into it, it finally became the boat he promised me I was receiving. The hull is a great hull, but mechanically, who knows after he has had his hands on it. I know shame on me and lesson learned, but please learn from my mistakes especially when dealing with this used car salesman.

It would be great if anyone here on OSO could survey the boat, and of course money will be transferred to that person.

Almost got to race that boat once, but we stuck with the 24 pantera instead
Just thought since the other was in the Northwest that it coulda been Shanes, I see his styed in FL(and the steeel trailer shows it
). Do you ever talk to Shane? I lost his # a few years back.
