undecided need help
 
im looking at two different boat both are 1998, one is a 38 scarab twin 500s and the other is a38 top gun twin 525s priced about the same anybody offer some advice previously owned a 29 baja looking for pros and cons

Top Gun hands down...better in rough water and way better resale value.

never rode in a top gun and wasnt sure how it would ride with the beam being 6" smaller

michiganunsalted 07-03-2014 09:41 PM

is the cabin area good size or small like the fountain

Drock78 07-03-2014 09:46 PM

A top gun is a lot bigger than a fountain. They are probably one of the best riding 38 foot boats out there

In general, a 38 Cig and a 38 Scarab of the same year would not be priced the same, especially if the Cig has more power. I think I'd want to know why they are. What are the details on the boats?

michiganunsalted 07-03-2014 10:15 PM

scarab is about 10 thou cheeper im still waiting on all the paticulars from my broker i do know that the top gun has 600 hrs on the meters not sure if they been rebuild yet and the scarab has 400 on the meters

In general, I'd say go with the Gun. Of the two, the Cig is more of a "custom" boat, the Scarab more "production." Of course, that assumes all things are equal - I'd probably go with a nice Scarab over a ratted out Cig.... 10K buys a lot of gas....
