Hows it going, I am new to OSO. I currently own a 18ft runabout and am looking to upgrade to a bigger boat this winter. I am very familiar with the 22 Hammer but dont not know much about the 22 Scarab. I am not partcial to any brand as of yet. Your imput on the good and bad points of the 22 Scarab will be very helpful in my decision. Thanks!

The 22 Scarab / Hammer thing has been discussed several times in the past. As a previous 22 Scarab owner I have offered my opinions. Heres a link to the thread I posted too.

I have had a 94 22 Scarab and a 99 23scs Scarab and both gave me very good service and seemed to be more stable and quicker than Baja equiped the sam way.

I have a 1996 22 Scarab. I have driven both. The scarab is a much safer ride. The baja will fly vertical. The scarab flys horizontal. The scarab will win in rough water. I've never lost a race with a Hammer.

I HAVE HAD BOTH A HAMMER AND A 22 SCARAB STOCK THE SCARAB IS FASTER. 7.4 CARB. BUT AFTER I PROCHARGED A 502 FOR THE HAMMER NO WAY. I NOW HAVE A 22 ELIMINATOR EAGLE CLOSED BOW WITH 7.4 MPI BETTER THAN BOTH THE EAGLE HAS A STEP HULL BETTER GEL COAT AND IS FASTER AND A BETTER RIDE. TURNS A LAB 26 BRAVO 4900. IT IS A 99 MODEL ON A TRAILER AND IS FOR SALE. UPPER 20'S
