this boat far exceeds dollars invested vs. value . Cool boat especially if there is Kilo or racing history behind it. If someone has DEEP pockets and really likes it they should go for it !

Cheap price, but the only way this boat would be worth fixing is if somebody found a totalled trip eng boat that needed a home for the power. And even then its a HUGE aount of work. You can buy older early 90's trip boats for 50-80k running all day long.

Glass the back of it up, stagger it and put a pair 900's in it. :)

That's what I was thinking. What kind of power did it have back in the day? What do you think it would run with twin 900's?

or a pair of 1350's or 1550's. Thats just how I'd roll though.

I don't know what it would run, but it would run anywhere you wanted.
It used to be a thing put tripple HP500's in a boat, nowadays you take the same boat and put twin 850's and you go a lot faster and handle better. Not as a$$ heavy.

Not rippen on it. I think the boat is awsome. Just what Unitek said..... Alot of money. Is it worth it? All depends on the beholder... :)

tim leslie 11-16-2009 01:25 PM

It Will Be Running Agen !

Rick G 11-16-2009 02:22 PM

I spoke to the guys at National. The boat can be had for
$ 8,500.

I am trying to sell my 43 Scarab Thunder. Twin 605's No 3 drives fresh water low hours less than 100. Air and generator .
