I'd say 70 max

Well that sucks. I thought a 21' boat with 415 hp would do better than 70 mph. I am more concerned with cruising speed than top speed.

I really want the checkmate in the for sale section. I just don't know how financing on an older boat works. I have always paid cash for everything.

Speak to the folks at "Harris Marine Financing" - Stevensville, MD. 410-643-7087

They maybe able to put together a financing package that is good for you.....they are really good with older boats.

Make sure it has a bravo one drive and NOT an ALPHA drive

It's a bravo drive

Like others said the transoms on the scarabs were always rotten from not being sealed properly. I have 86panther that needed a transom and stringers. My friends 94 29 scarab needed a transom.
