BTW...I was going to buy a 1997 Scarab 22 last summer in Missouri.The boat was represented to be in excellent condition with a supercharged 454.He was asking 20k.Drove clear the hell out to Missouri for a lake trial.5 minutes in the the ride the motor blows from going too lean.I was really pissed for a wasted trip (600 miles one way) but in the end it worked out for the better.
It would cost me about 600 to ship to California, but oh well.

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'
not bad, but I would not plan a weekend on it.

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.

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.

As far as pics, I can't wait to see it myself! I'll get some on the water, etc...

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.
