40 Baja or 38Scarab
The 40 Outlaw is a 2000 with 500's twin. Has a race lay up cabin simpson netting inside. Bravo drives. 120 hours very nice shape, also has a bini top.
The 38 Scarab is a 99 with 502Mpi motors with 150hours.Has a trailer. Cabin has all the goodies. Bravo drives very nice shape. Also has a Gps.
Both boats have Hyd steering, nice guage package.
The Outlaw is about 10k more. It also has a much larger cockpit. Both boats do the same speed.
Which one do you feel is the better deal. Resale in the future.

Go with the Outlaw. The race layup is a nice package and the 40 is a huge boat in every way.
Another consideration: How does wellcraft handle service since they dropped the line?

Baja Daze I was thinking the same thing. I like the lines of the Baja but at the same time I like the amentites of the Scarab!!! The engine bay is nicer in the 40, ton of room.

baja27,
Had the oportunity to ride in a 40 Outlaw & 38 Scarab at the Miami Boat show 2 or 3 years ago. Same day only about 2 hours apart. Boat boats had 575sc as I remember. I am sure on the 40 Outlaw. Water was ROUGH in Gorverment Cut.
Bottom line is the 40 Outlaw road better (imo) and was also faster. Best of both worlds. I will give some credit for the ride to the driver of the Outlaw. He has many many hours of seat time in all conditions.
By the way I am the very happy owner of a 1999 36 Outlaw that we ordered new.

They both are great boats, don't think you can go wrong with either.
I have run in two different poker runs along side a buddy in his 38 Scarab, and I have to tell you that to be it is one of the best looking boats in the water.
The 40 Outlaw is HUGE!
It would really be a tough choice.
If you like the cuddy setup in the Outlaw I would go with the newer boat, and larger power.
Good luck and send pictures.
