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.

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:D

Look at the classifieds just in OSO. There is plenty of 2001-2003 T/B/B go-fast in the 100k range, new enough? P.S. nice looking rig!

Well, I must say I was thinking I would never sell my boat a few weeks ago. I got a call from a guy in Cleveland, we negotiated a price, he came out for a test drive and was happier than a pig in $h!t. He is now a proud owner of an 86' SCARAB Panther.

Take me off the list!

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.
