Greetings,

I've owned a lot of boats previously - Glastron Carlsons, VIP Vindicator, Chaparral Laser etc.... Went through a divorce and had to sell the most recent boat but am not getting back into the mood of wanting to go boating again.

I *REALLY* like the control setup of boats like the Scarab 23 SCS as well as the Baja Sidewinder where the shifter and throttle are separate and are in between the front seats rather than against the side like most boats are.. Yes, I know that this is more common in Sea Doo's and stuff like that - but I also have seen it in the higher end Cat's as well...

Regardless - I love it, and I was wondering if anyone here could help me out with other boats that are in the under $18k range that have that same type of setup.. I am mostly interested in V-hull with typical seating setup of 2 buckets in front and a bench in the back. I believe the Scarab Sprint 18 with the 4.3 vortec had this setup on some models as well - and that boat would be acceptable too... I am not interested in jet boats - only i/o.. Going 80mph is not necessary either - but I do want the boat to be sporty and look cool similar to the Scarab 23 SCS..

Thanks for any and all help you might provide!!!

p.s. - a cuddy cabin is a huge bonus..

there are several SCS's listed over @ powerboatlistings.com
