If your referring to the 29' scarab I showed in the link it only has a single 496. I bet that's a pretty slow boat.

I doubt you will still have that boat when I'm ready to buy one. I have not when and looked at any yet because I hate tire kickers. Once I get approval for the loan or save some more money I will go look at some and buy one. Your boat seems like a pretty good deal though depending on the all important cruising speed.
