Scarab 34 sport
 

Hi guys, newbie here looking at making my first boat purchase. I live in St. Lucia and most of my boating activities will be coastal party runs with a bunch of friends, a little fishing and the odd island hops to Martinique and the Grenadines. Outboard powered center and dual console boats are the rage here and I am looking at some 34 Scarab Sports currently for sale ranging from 1988 to 1991 with power ranging from twin 225's to 300's and one with triple 200's. Any issues with these boats in that age range that I should be wary of? Do they use a lot of wood coring in stringers, decks, etc that are prone to rot? Prices range from about 39K to 55K. Any feedback will be very much appreciated.

Just get it. Nothing like it with the water down there unless you go real big. Wich one are you looking at? If you get a shot at buying Mr. Johnson's old boat you got a killer boat.
