First thing I am new to this forum and I am thinking about buying a boat. I am looking at a 1993 38 Scarab clean with 200 hrs 500 cobra motors and alfa drives. What can be said about this boat was this a good model. Whatever info would be well appreciated .
Thanks

why would a 93 38' w/ 500's have alpha's? my 91 35' has trs's, so i would think a 93 would have bravos.

Are you sure about the Alpha drives? Most on OSO would not buy a used HP boat without a complete marine survey, especially on a boat that is 16 years old. A survey will likely be the best $ you ever spend on boating. Someone on here can give you a lead on a local surveyor.

I Would Not Have Came W/alphas

Ok he posted a lot of pics but none of the drives so when I asked him
I could have swore he said alphas but I will check.
How much for a survey
Comparing the Scarab to other 93 boats how does it rate
Also He said that it was a fresh water boat kept on a rack indoors untill he purchased it two years ago where he used it in salt water
but he said he flushed it an all that.

Sorry Bull Dog motors Not Cobra

Post where you live and someone can likely give you a reference.

I think a survey is about $20/foot.

And when they do a survey what does that cover.

In my experience with surveyor's, the survey only covers the surveyor's azz
