Just Swimming Through
 
And I see aloft of regulars here , looks like Catmando is up to the same **** here also . Been Jetting for the last 14 yrs but after going to my first poker run this yr I got the itch bad !!! Had my eye on a 91 26'CV Scarab in Ohio which I wanted but missed out on it due to the fact my jet has not sold yet , I belive he is a member here ? Are there any good sites for Scarab's. Still would like to look at some boats in the 26 range and have 22-25 to spend .

CAT IS NO LONGER WITH US HERE

May I suggest a Baja 24 ft Outlaw. Will handle the rough stuff better than a Scarab and runs about the same with a big block. Plus it will be easier to resell due to the popularity of the model. Check out the classifieds and look in the Baja forum. Proman has a nice one for sale at a fair price.

GOOD , a site free of his BS is a good thing !

Lets see, you are selling a JET and you only have 22-25 k to spend. Must be a pretty crappy jet, the cheapest I have seen was in the 2 mil range.

I have looked at alot of Baja's in the 25 grand range and I think you can get a pretty good boat for the money's . But that Teal and Pink scheme I can't do ! The thing I liked about the 91 CV is no cuddy and that low profile look .

I have seen the boat rigged with single big block and twin outboards. The outboards really caught my eye, almost bought that boat but was skeptical of the low freeboard and seating. Would have taken some modifications to meet my needs and I hated to buy a new boat and go through that.

I wouldn't mind having one today for running around on...and it trailers really nice too.

You need to sell your Gulfstream G3 and get one of them.

Gulfstream G3??

Man, if its a good boat, you got to be quick.

I was looking at a nice Pantera, vintage 1981.
A real nice boat for a good price. before I could even get down to see it, it was gone daddy gone. Same thing happened to me earler in last year with a formula out of Chi-Town. So be ready, their out there, but you must have your cash in hand and ready to roll on it.

Man , I wanted that Pantera, Bad, and I had the cash, I just didn't move fast enought. Someone has the super nice Pantera I wanted, Im sure they are loving it too.

Speed to the sale, and money in hand.
good luck.

I have been looking at that site nearly everyday since the hunt has been on .I feel your pain as I to lost out on the Scarab I found in boat trader . I'm sure the owner of the Scarab I wanted is in here with this group? He is from Ohio And I belive he bought the F-2 Pantera you see on Speedvision ,ring any bells ?

Looks like a nice job on rebuild , going to stay away from twins just YET, hope to get in a early 90's with the fund's I have to work with which you all know is nothing in this game ! The 91 26' CV Scarab I wanted was in Boat Trader which some here might of seen ,it was in Ohio and is White w/ Teal stripe ,center of stripe was air brush white to yellow orange and red with teal Scarab across the side and some checkers on it ? We worked out a deal on the price and he was even willing to meet me half way to get the boat to me! The other that has got me thinking is the 26' red Profile fresh motor run's mid 80's that is in Boat trader now or was still there last wk.

R Addiction 01-01-2004 09:19 PM

Shark In The Pond 01-01-2004 11:30 PM

R Addiction 01-02-2004 05:38 AM

open87 01-02-2004 05:50 AM
