I dont mean this to be negative in any way, but I think the name "Scarab" is not too desirable any longer. At that time there wasn't as much available. There are too many die-hard performance boats available and due to technology advances since Scarabs were hot, not many people desire them anymore.

Re: What Happend to The $50k or Less Market?
If you can buy brand new for 69K-89K-109K, where's the market for over priced 10-15-20 year old units? Sorry, should be in the 5K-10K-15K range. I know some boats hold value,but alot of it seems to be sentimental value. I'm looking for a boat, not your history and old stories. Oh yeah, anyone selling for free

I was watching TV and a commercial came on and said that the middle class was gone. I'm not sure where the rest of us went, but I guess it's just me left to hold down the fort as the only remaining middle class guy in the US.
So, since I am the only remaining member of the middle class, and I already have an under 50k boat, you are out of luck.
If Kerry gets elected, I assume that the middle class will re-emerge from where they are hiding, and the cheap boat market will take off again.
