I don't know if OL is still sitting on that 38 Scarab or not, but if so it looks like a lot of boat/hardware for the money assuming it all checks out. At this point I suspect they'll at least entertain a $50k offer.

I sent this link (OSO) to my friend Dave, he does not speak a word in english, but still can click on links for pictures, prices, and boat description!
Thanks for the fast suggestions!

On these kinds of threads, inevitably people reply with mid-90s boats. I'm curious, is this a situation where you should just wait and spend more for a newer boat? Or would most people be comfortable with a nearly 20 year old boat as long as it has fresh engines and drives?

There's a lot more to it than just age....I'm not going to name any companies but I'm sure you can go buy a 2000 or newer 35ft for $50k from a production type company, but its not going to happen with a boat built by a custom builder. Resale is always going to be better from a high end builder that only builds a couple boats a year. I would personally would much rather spend the money on an older higher end boat than a newer production boat that everytime you go out, you see 5 of them.
