Hey puder, who cares about the Baja Forum, we go for quality, not quantity....and besides that, we have better looking avatars than the Baja boys!! heheh :D

Lets be carful not to hurt their Little feelers!!


Me and Wally already went at them one time in a little battle!!!


Quality is Right!!!

Hell, we always talk about looks and performance over here. We can't help it if we don't break or have parts fall OFF!!!!!



:D :D :p

I thought this was over but perhaps not.

I will be the first to say that I would rather have an older Scarab than an older Baja. But nowadays the opposite is true. Scarab used to be the king of the seas. Now, only a shell remains. Just a couple of years ago they offered about 8-9 models. Now they only offer 4 models and 3 of those 4 models date back to the early 90’s. Most “Scarab Dealers” are merely Wellcraft dealers that tell you “Yeah, we can get you a Scarab if you really want one.” Hell, Scarab's annual production run is probably so low that they can start calling themselves a "custom builder"

Baja on the other hand is headed in the exact opposite direction. They probably sink more into R&D now than any other builder out there (selling lots of boats has it’s advantages). Since 1997 they have introduced 14 new models and have 2 more slated for 2003. Scarab may still have a presence in racing but what do they have cooking for the average consumer?

I wish someone would buy the Scarab name and bring them back – kind of the way that American Marine Holdings bought Donzi back in 1994. Look how far they have come since then.

I think what you said was WELL put!!!


I've owned both and voiced my opinion. A little ribbin' never hurt anything. Me and Bajadaze give it to each other every once in a while!!!

...And don't you forget it! :p :p
:D :D :D

...It's all Good!...

29scarab, dude, read the last sentence of your post and tell me that doesnt just sound wrong!!! :eek:

As for what 29Outlaw said.....my head falls down in dissappointment cause its soo true..... :( Scarab was a name back in the day that was right up there along with Cigarette. Now adays you mention it and people are like....they still make boats? I cant remember them coming out with anything new in a long time now! And its true...someone SHOULD buy the name and bring back the boats. If the quality was there the name alone would help move the boats! :)

Awww, Man!! :eek: :eek: Geez Wally! Way to shed some light on that! :D :D :D

As for 29 and Wally's statements...So true! It's a shame, it really is...You're right wally, back in the hayday The mere mention of the word commanded respect. It's a legacy growing old. :(

:cool:

Damn!! I leave for an hour and this thread goes crazy!!

I guess I should of thought about thew comment Wally!!

Bajadaze, Dude! Waaaaaaaazup!!!



As for the Scarab name!! It has taken a shortcoming on its effort to stay with the legacy it once had!!

I hate to say this, but I can't guarantee my next boat will be a Scarab.

My next boat due to my traveling, would be nice to have some extra ammenitites for over night stays. It would save on the Hotel bills!! Something like A/c ,gen, standup shower,toilet. Some thing to accomodate me for a friday and saturday night stay and leave on sunday back to work!!

Thats in the works next!!



:D :D
