som beach,

Are you referring to the Fittipaldi everyone is talking about or my SCARAB 34?
Aaron

I was talking about the black and red one that started this thread. I absolutly love the early 90s 34 Scarabs like yours The older 80s Scarab IIIs are nice, but the boats like yours just look sleek and refined, and fast. I like your cockpit setup, too, better than other 34s I've seen with the side-by-side bolsters.

My short list, if I ever win the lottery will be (in no particular order)
89-93 31 Excel Scarab
90-93 34 Excel Scarab
86-88 38 KV Scarab

Very Cool!

Thanks for the kind words som beach

Theres a lottery?

Maybe i need to check into this?

I did have an 89 EXCEL 29 before this. It was a great boat as well.

My favorite part of my 34 is the full laid back wrap around windshield and integrated swim step. I think it just makes it look fast, even though i'm still working on that part.

I worked with Emerson from 1990 through 1996 and drove his personal boat back around 1992 or 1993 (I can't remember). At that time, it had 6 liter AMG Mercedes engines in it and ran about 74 mph. We had a good time kicking around Biscayne Bay that day. Later on, then engines developed issues and had to be swapped out for Chevies. Emerson's sone designed the graphics package; always one of my favorite color combinations.

I DJed for Emerson at his Key Biscayne house twice during that time,
remember the red boat docked behind the house..
Nicest guy in the world.

The original Mercedes boat???........

i was looking at this boat previosly, posted a thread about it about this time last year, came very close to buying it but me living in NY and that boat in cali, he couldnt get me good enough pics to be a done deal. i love the boat but its not practical to buy a boat i couldnt see in person, or atleast good pictures, if you dont mind me asking, how much you offered on it
