Scarab 33 AVS on classifieds
 

Hi, this is my first post on OSO. I'm from Chile. Me and my dad are looking to buy our first off shore boat. We currently own a SeaRay 210 for watersports, but want to have a bigger boat. As we will be riding in the south pacific with big seas (between 3-5 feet as best) we defined that the boat to go is the Scarab 33 AVS, and as the boat will spend 2 months on salt water every season we need it to have closed cooling.

Well, we found that boat, and it is listed in a few places, including OSO classifieds, here is the link:

Here is the question: does somebody knows this boat?


Thanks!!

Check your PMs

Wow! Thats a fast yes answer!!! Power of oso i guess! Or power of the owner!!! ??? :)

Thanks, Mark. I answered your PM!!

Anybody who knows the boat??

I fly to Santiago about twice a month (pilot) where are you boating? Your country is very nice and clean, I can imagine the boating is wonderful. Have you considered the 38' Scarab? it will handle the 3-5 footers a little better. Also can you tow the boat? I really have not seen many big trucks or towing rigs down south..so I imaging you will keep it on a lift or dry storage?

I would take a hard look at the Blue/Yellow 33 avs that GSC has listed - boat is literally like new condition

Hi Mink, I've seen that ad. The downside of that boat is the raw water cooled engines. The closed cooling is a must for me.

Hi JetJock, my dad is also a pilot (ex-Lan, now corporate). I boat at Pichidangui (120 miles north of Santiago), and yes, it's wonderful. I have considered bigger boats, but as we will tow the boat once a year 120 miles with some steep-long hills, ended with a 35 foot as a maximum length. We will be towing the boat with a half ton Silverado 2015 or if needed upgrade to a 3/4 ton Ram Cummins (don't want to go too big as the truck will be used as dd).
As for facilities, the boat will be kept on water hang to a buoy, no marina facilities at Pichidangui, yet.... Once the season ends: we will get the boat back to Santiago for storage and maintenance.

Greetings, and have a safe flight.
