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.

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!

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.
