Absolutely love our Scarab 302. Great all-purpose boat. Fast, great in rough seas, versatile. Great for family plans, couples, etc. I put a rocking sound system in it. Entertains the whole beach. Awesome party boat.
Will keep it and add a poker run boat to the arsenal once we get this house purchase out of the way.

What ever boat you choose I think you will be happy with a CC. I went from a 40 MTI to a 39 Cigarette Top Sport CC and love it. I'm partial to Cigarette but regardless the CC's are growing in popularity. I know of 4 high performance cat owners that have switched or are waiting for their CC to be built.

That's funny. Had Wayne County Sherrif board me last year to do a "safety inspection". One guy says to me, are those seat out of a Cigarette? I replied, "oh you mean these drop out Stand up bolster seats that have the velocity logo embroidered in them? No they are out of a Velocity.". You would think the coast guard and sherrifs that patrol the waterways would have a clue............

Before we bought or boat ( its a 2000 scarab) Ed Cozzi had surveyed it for us , but when we were looking he said to buy something at least 1994 or newer cause that was about the time builders started using better resins in the lay up and earlier boats were just susceptible to lamination problems over the years, I guess technology in the new resins were way better !!
I know nothing about this boat, it just popped up while I was looking at motors. You ever get up to lake boca any more?

I just bought a 33 Avance CC and we absolutely love it. They are very hard to come by. Handles the rough water amazing and moves. So far 65 MPH with another 1400 RPM to go. Prop testing stage, BUT doesn't replace the go fast. So now we have 3 boats

I love my Concept 30, Tanner say's its junk so maybe I'm the only idiot out there that loves them. Cant beat the versatlity, especially for salt water, warm weather boating. The Concept 30 is a small, light 30 but so far it suits my needs perfectly, it's amazing how quick it jumps on plane and accellerates.
