Already got a complete Scorpion, Sutphen, Formula and Sea Ray Wanna buy One? I find em like this and bring em back. For not too much $. Parts only I do the work. Keeps me out of trouble. I sold my Scarab II during a divorce 12 yrs ago and been living with the guilt ever since. Not the divorce the Scarab LOL

My family loves boating wife included I never hear a peep about it. They are all in the yard right now. The wife is trying to claim the Sutphen as Hers. Maybe she doesnt complain because I just sold an outdrive off a junk boat on ebay for 975.00 and gave it to her for christmas shopping. I never knew that OMC Cobras were so valuable.
