It would cost me about 600 to ship to California, but oh well. |
OK...I'm offering 14 for the boat and should hear back this afternoon. Now, I have to ship the boat to CA!!

Steve,
I was thinking 15K would be a good price for a big block 22' Scarab in Great shape. I know AB water sports. they are a good dealer and stand behind what they sell. sound like you may have a ride from CA. Good Luck! Speed PS . I did come to a few morings on my 22' :drink: not bad, but I would not plan a weekend on it. |

Stop pissing around and buy the boat.At least you've decided on a SCARAB and not not a baja. |

This isn't the boat from the dealer linked to above...another source. The nice thing is that the boat is bare. I mean it's all white, so I guess I need to figure out some way to make it look nice. Any ideas other than painting? I may look at some vinyl graphics. Suggestions? My wife is really excited about being able to lay out on the back of the boat. Thanks all from a new guy to the community. -Steve |

You're right about that. I grew up with Wellcraft boats. I was looking at Baja boats only because my good friend has a 27ft one that is really nice.

OK....I think it's done. Agreed to 14K for the boat. Has new power/drive and stringers installed recently. Additionally, all gelcoat was repaired and polished.
Now, I have to figure out the graphics for the side. |
Congrats!!!
Show us some pics and have fun.Welcome to the Scarab world. |

I'll get some on the water, etc... -Steve I was debating over the weekend because there is a 22 on eBay with a modded engine, but I don't want to mess with that. I know from my road racing that modded engines can be finnicky and I don't want to have to bring my toolbag with me everytime I go to the lake. I just want a reliable boat. |
