It maybe a narrow beam but it still has more room in the cockpit than my outlaw. They are asking 58k for it! I offered 40k so long as its is as nice as it looks in the pictures. The broker tried to tell me that I was crazy and that this boat was worth way more than 40 so on so forth. Then basically said I have no idea on the market and that it sounded like a budget issue more than anything. He then said I'll try and get that number for you. I don't get people sometimes.

58k!! 40k is more than fair....you definitely wouldn't be stealing it at that price.

$40? I was thinking I was generous at $35.

You can get a Donzi 28ZX in the same vintage for $40k and have a better built boat. There are others too... might sneak into a 292 FasTech if you shop long enough. I know there are other better built brands too, just look around.

I know people love them but every Scarab I have seen is built like crap relative to the competition.

$58K?? How do they expect people to even call on that? Let me guess, located at a dealer that does not normally deal with high performance boats?

Yep that was my thought exactly or the guy is just that upside down in it. The more I talk to the broker the more I think he has filled the owner with bs. I found it on Craigslist and it didn't have a price on it and the wife said find out how much because she really liked it. O well I'll just keep mine till the time comes. I also like the donzi and 292's but it is finding one that the the wife and I can agree on is the hard part!
