Yep I agree
I sold my dad's 14 year old clean but used hard 25 Seafox, which is a POS,with a 225 yamaha with over 4000 hours on the clock for 14500 last year out of Naples.
I had people fighting for it.
The nada on it was 23500. He only paid 31 for it back in 2002
I think your going to need at least 25 grand to get into a decent single engine CC.
That little Scarab 26 looks like a decent boat with a single
Go Yamaha or stay home.

I know the budget is cheap, but it's that way for a reason. I'm about to sink everything I own and everything I don't own into a house. Trying to live out my dream of having my boat in the backyard. This is just the "hold me over" boat after the sticker shock of the house down payment. The good news is I have a killer tool box and there isn't anything I can't fix. Other than a soft floor/transom. Don't want to get into glass work

Confederates used to be built in Naples years ago.
They are a pop off a 26 Monza hull. Good running hull. Also the 26 Monzas are around too.
Where you looking to move to in Florida ? I have been a resident of Naples for 30 years.
If I could move right now I would go to St Petersburg.
2/3 rds the price of Naples / Fort Myers and much prettier water .
It has great boating, fishing and diving , which is not usually doable on the West Coast but great in this area with good visibility and many reefs near shore.

The old scarabs are classic but I wouldn't touch one unless i knew someone had replaced the transom and stringers in a quality job. They seem to all rot.
If you want a real hot rod keep an eye out for a zero tolerance.

#1 is water Quality, Clarity, no long run down the Mud River.
Downtown St Pete Rocks.
Great fishing reefs 5 miles offshore as opposed to 30 miles off Naples or Ft Myers
Great diving 10 miles off shore vs No Diving off Ft Myers / Naples. See Mud River above.
