Sound far fetched???

hmmmmm

its not a 32 its an idiot listing.
1400 Hp sounds good to me.
Still seems fast at 92 in that big ol heavy boat.

Sounds like jb has pegged it... That's an old 30 and most likely is as heavy as a more recent 38... The invested $70K also seems to be an inflated number, especially with the bid at $16k... Best bet would be to sell the motors on their own if they are really as stated...

I dont know....if he actually had $70k invested that boat should be MINT!!

There is no question in my mind that a 30' Scarab with that power and drive will, go 92mph, but it really depends more on the truck pullin' it, cause it sure as hell isn't gonna do it in water.:D :D :D

Wally,

Whats up!!

:D

AIN"T NO WAY that boat runs 92!!!!!

The nerve of some people!!! Sounds like something I saw in the paper the other day with a guy selling a 35fever with 500's saying it would run 93 all day!!!!

Yeah right!!!!

Later guys!!

SOS dude. :) Just working on the new house and keeping my mind off not having a boat right now! :D But every time i get to work and log on here it all goes out the window and i'm ready to buy another! LOL!!

How things with you? Keep'n busy?

come on guys, you can't be fooled by this ad. Take a look at the picture of the motors. Can't believe there is 700 hp there. Look at the drives, looks to me like he spins 23p mirage's. I wouldn't bid more then 10,000.

I have a very much the same boat with more than the claimed power of the1978 which would not quite hit 70 on my gps.neither with 21 clevers nor 23 and 25 mirage.Its also completely redon(theriverworld.com)page 12 of the hot boat section.Its the twister boat.Every thing is new with close to 800 total hp but will never run 92mph.Only when I tow it to havasu on a straight desert road in the middle of the night does it go 92mph.it is the same 30 scarab as the1978 which is not a 32 [email protected].

Wally, the ad did say it had the "Slip Drive" transmissions,....thats got to be 40 mph per motor!!!....those don't for some reason look like 572" roller motors....you looking for another boat Wally?.....Fred

Slip drive trans??? What are those? never heard of them before.......and it dont much sound good to me! "Slip Drive" sounds like it needs a rebuild to me! lol

Fred....loking for another boat??? well...kinda like Too Old, i'm always looking for "that other boat"! But much the same, the price has to be just right! :D I have my eyes on a 30' Chris Cat but we'll see what happens with that.....if i dont go for it my buddy just might and have it for a play toy! :D

Wally, from what I have saw those Chris Cats are real cool....I know what you mean by the boat at the right price....I sold my 30' Scarab and got a 40' Excalibur Hawk....got it for the right price, sure it needed some tlc but I can handle all that ran it all last season with no problems, doing more updates this spring, keep us informed on what you get.....if I see any good deals I'll let you know,...Fred
