then I guess you can't pass up a 20 minute drive to mendon to check out the outboard. even if you KNOW you wouldn't touch it with the proverbial 10 foot pole. besides, he has a line on all the damaged goods in your area. has stuff coming in all the time. him or PM Sick Stinger. he scares up perf boats and he is in your area.

That would be somebodys cheap start to a class 7 boat

I just googled " scarab 1" because I couldn't picture one. That is pretty cool looking . I wonder what the bottom is ? Deadrise etc? I like the windshield , good for family boating .

I know where there is 1988 Sea Ray Pachanga 22, seller is asking $6900, I'm sure it could be had for a grand less. Boat runs and looks decent. I won't be able to get you pics until next week as it is on my morning commute in a guys driveway. He just put it out there with the for sale sign about 2 weeks ago. I actually stopped to look at it because growing up my dad owned the exact same boat and it brought back memories. Trailer is rough, tires are dry rotted, gel coat is not bad but some oxidation but easily buffable, cabin seats are a little faded and a few cracks but not terrible. Can't vouch for strIngers or transom as I didn't have an opportunity to get into all that.

This is the actual ScarabI that went for fifteen hundy, granted it was a right place right time cash in hand get it the hell outta my yard kinda deal but it shows the deals are out there. Guy texted me the pic and asked if it was a deal . . . . :confused: :D


The ScarabI's were a 22 degree bottom, run fast but rough. Slick lil boat though.

A Scarab 1 in great condition just popped up on Craigslist Chicago this week with an asking price of $6500
