Dave I almost thought you were dumping your Scarab III

never! . . . unless its for that red and black 43 Scarab in the classifieds. That is what i want next. I really do like my III though.

Sold... I sent him a deposit last night.

You have alot of work on your hands. The boat was declared a total loss by its former Florida owner that parted it out and sold it on ebay a year ago. The boat had a high moisture content in its transom and rotted stringers. It is definitly the same boat. The Florida owner that sold it on ebay, over a year ago was very honest and put it right in the listing. He was selling the engine seperatly or going to use it in something more sound. Check it out and be carefull, I hope you got it cheap.

Thanks for the heads up. I had no idea I was going to be doing any fiberglass! Can do the work just don't have the time after I finish cutomers boats. I thougt this was going to be a quick project that I could dunk before the leaves start to fall. If anyone else is interested feel free to step in, that is if I can get my deposit back.

Chances are if he wasn't willing to disclose the problems up front, he's not gona give up the deposit too easy...could get ugly. Good luck

Good luck on getting the deposit back!

I'll keep my fingers crossed!

He probably won't give up the deposit. I have'nt called him yet. I just pray that he wasn't dumb enough to put another motor in it before taking care of the stringers and transom, knowing that they were rotted. I'll probably end up bringing it home and pulling the motor instead of hooking it up. Oh well, at least when it goes back in it won't be 330hp. Anyone gonna be out in the middle of winter?

The scarab is back on ebay,sept.25, still nothing in the discription about its rotted transom and stringers.
