[QUOTE=pachanga;2190767]
I never heard of Searay trying to get in the racing business! The only proof I needed was the poor quality I saw in all the Wellcraft boats I looked at(as well as others). I am not trying to knock you guys. But the Pachanga I bought was the 1st boat I drove that didn't feel like it was gonna bust all to pieces when ya hit another boat's wake or whatever! Here I was sitting in a 20 year old boat that was solid as a rock! The craftmanship just oozed out of it! I am certain it is not the fastest boat out there. But it is definitely onna the better built boats out there!
Patchy, why is it you float around the scarab posts making lame remarks about durability of these boats? I see 6 posts in the sea ray forum, why not start your own buzz there, with that massive contigency of ray owners? All 6...............

Because he's floating a turd.Doesn't matter how much HP you bolt on to a turd,it's still a turd.
He's obviuosly been up against a Scarab or two and they flushed that turd right down the stool.

Guys it turns out that the Canadian broker who has this LSmith is eager to move it AT A FAIR PRICE before the long winter sets in, (this particular boat has been forsale forever).Picture wise it almost shows new.Within a few weeks i will head north to check it out. Is there anything special-problem wise(indicative of a LarrySmith ) i should have the marine surveyer look at?.The boat is running a set of staggered Merc 1000s detuned to 900s (six drives) so i assume it should easily run an honest 100mph no cabin ect on a non stepped hull.

I have been gone all week, I have info on the 26LS Scarabs from 1st to Stright bottom What is the hull ID # Mine is the 4th
one The first was made for Tom Gentry and the last time I checked it was still in Hawaii.
Most of the Team Scarab LS Hulls were made by the same person and his crew his name is Ruddy Munez and he lives
close by my home in the Hi-Desert of SoCal.
The 26 Boats were rigged both at team Scarab or by some of
the best Riggers in the business.
There are records of the Building of each hull but they are in
storage and I do not have access to them, Lets first start with
the ID # My ID Starts with SQE101----88 and It should be one the Stbd rear, There is also another place the number is that
is glassed in side the boat.
