I owned a 22 Scarab and loved the boat, but it had the old-style plywood floor with glued-down carpet over it. Depending on how many times that got wet through the years, you could end up with soft spots in the wood and possibly have to replace the floor. The 20 Outlaw, on the other hand, if I'm not mistaken, should be built with a fiberglass liner that's integral to the deck. And fiberglass can handle getting wet better than wood. Finally, with a newer EFI motor, it should be more hassle free. You're right about both being about the same length on the water.

Hope this helps.
