You guys ever ride in a nice SIT-DOWN boat? You might change your mind.

Between those two boats, I would choose the Checkmate. There is ZERO cockpit space in the Scarab, and no cabin.

That Powerquest looks pretty nice. I'd try to find a 24 Superboat, Pantera, P&D, Jaws, etc. if I was looking in that size range. They can be found in that price range.

Ended up going to see both, the checkmate had 1800hrs... lol and the owner fed me some bull**** about having the motor rebuilt but didnt know at what hrs or have bills. scarab was not too bad but like mentioned above too small of an interior... so spent a little more and went for this, picking her up tonight. 250hrs... mint! http://northbay.kijiji.ca/c-cars-veh...AdIdZ507605709

Congrats!! I was going to suggest either the Baja H2X or 232, as very similar options.
