Are Scarabs high or low end boats?
 

I have been told that Baja are the low end of power boats but since have been told Scarabs are. I have a Scarab II and think it is OK. I guess Cigs are the top but where do the Scarabs fall?

In 1985, that Scarab II was a very nice boat. Tell me this, do you see more 85 Scarabs or 85 Bajas?

I had a 38' AVS Scarab for three years and loved it. They can handle anything you throw at it. A former world champion driver once told me Scarabs have wave crushing hulls which are far superior to anything new out there.

i had a scarab panther and a 33 avs....i think they are great boats.....top notch in there day.....i don't get the baja comparison....

Well said....

Not comparing to the old force boats but my 85 is getting thrown around a bit to much on LOTO, that is why I want to step up to a 38. Just wondered how they compare to the others. If I found a 38 with a head and would handle LOTO water I would LOVE it. Money IS an option, just leave party cove or the boat races WOW!! fun but WOW.

On a scale of 1-10 I would say they have been around a 7 the whole time they were built. To me the Scarab is like a Honda Motorcycle not the beast at anything but a very good all around boat.

I had a scarabIII and loved it, We now have a fountain. There is nothing wrong with scarabs.

There are Scarabs and there are copies !

Nuff said !

High quality for sure.....
