Sorry for the late response. I was in Havasu for a week (boat ran perfect-thank God). As far as y 31'. It was 2 years ago- not as much competition for sale then. Now with 38's going for $30-50 who knows. At the time I had a rare boat (good and bad), that I bought for $42k in '01 that was in terrible shape. I dumped AT LEAST $25k into it before selling it for $32.5. (yes, I lost $35k on the boat over 6 years). I had it at $42k for a while, then $38k then $35k then finally settled for $32.5. All in all it took about 3 months to sell. To get one sold now you might have to dip into the mid $20's. It's definatly a buyers market.

just wanted to update on the deal I got when I got the boat it was in dry storage no trailer to run and check out . bought the boat and a trailer tested at lake Elsinore with all the dead fish . ran good but over heated on the starboard eng bad . found that the feed hoses in the gimbal housings where bad only fix with out pulling the engines was low water pick ups better for this size boat anyway . took out the boat to havisu the weekend of 8-24 boat ran great ran about a 100 gal of fuel !!!!!!!! then took it out to catalina last weekend put over a hundred miles on the boat in one day boat ran great again AND NO OVER HEATING... some times you get lucky buying repos real sorry to the person that lost it to the bank. i hope the did not lose too much . I am sure they have to have hated to overheating problem hear are some pic

Awesome, glad to see you have had good luck with it. Where did you launch to go to Catalina? We still need to get together and compare notes.

AWESOME!

Hi guys. I've been looking at a boat listed as a 93 Scarab 31' Fittipaldi. Nice boat, but I can't find any references to a 31' Fittipaldi - the references that I can find are for a 91 34' model. Can anyone shed any light? And what are these going for at the moment anyhow? Thanks!

I have a real nice 34' Scarab III w/fresh 600hp motors ,all fresh TRS/Borg Warner drive train, moving up priced for a quick sale 21k..

Scarab3DMC - That's a very long haul to get it here, but can you send me some pics - if the $ work out and the Fittipaldi falls through I may be interested. Send to [email protected].

cbm can you tell me how to check that feed in the gimbal. I'm having a heating water pressure issue that I can't figure out. Does not over heat but will reach 170 at 4800. I already checked thermostat and housing, water pump, and back flushed system.
