Carb??
The boat should have a 454/502 MPI not a carb motor
That would be a BIG deal breaker for me.
sounds like a powerplant swap took place and I would really look into the 150 hr thing !

thats funny i thought the same thing when he said carb i just got a chance to go to wellcraft and double check....DEAL BREAKER!!! or a really huge discount

:bsflag:

Hi everyone; First time poster here.I have been out of boating since the late eighties and after a lot thought have decided on buying a Scarab. We're going to look at an SCS that's for sale in Toronto at prestige motors.They had it up for 33k and have dropped the price to 26,900. Boat is supposed to have less than 150 hrs.Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.Thanks,Leon.

ya lets see some photo's or a link so we can help you better

Would any of you guys buy a carb version of the scs for more than 10k in this economy ??? I think not
So tell the guy like it is .. 502 or 454 MPI is the one to look for.
Hell if he wants to throw 26k around I got a 502mpi in great shape for him .. :-)

Thanks brotha ! .. Yea I cant get over how hard you can push that 200hp bike on a good track with good tires ... :eek:
It is almost as good as a Scarab SCS at 80 MPH :evilb:

I have seen the boat in question and it is okay but not great. There are pics on kijiji.ca I think. It's got mufflers on the back rather than the downturned tips, and all the graphics are YELLOW not orange. The trailer looked not so great either. Interior was in fair condition from the pictures but somewhat mangled over stock.

Overall, I'd pass. I bought a brand new one for $26,500US with a 502MPI in it (not including trailer) so there are better deals out there. Look in the States.

Anyone know about this SCS in Minnesota? Looks to be in decent condition for a 13 year old boat.Doesn't have trim tabs though.

This dude's been trying to sell it for a month on Ebay with very few lowball offers.He started out at 20k.I bet someone could get it for 13,000.

And no,I'm not interested in it.Very happy being boatless:drink:
