looking at buying my first scarab, just wondering what kind of performance i can expect , and at what cost.....

here is a 22 on ebay, it looks like it might be a nice one. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...874338087&rd=1

Tigger:

That looks like a nice one on E-bay, I had a 1994 like that one, and it was a mid 60's boat, sold it in Sep 2000 for 19,500.00.

Hey you might look for a 1997-1999 23SCS 502EFI boat, kinda rare but what a ride. External steering, trim tabs left hand drive with controls in the center, this boat will turn a labbed 26" in the upper 70's. Sold this boat for 36,500.00 last August.

I have a 23' SCS and love it !

Does the Scarab SCS have drop out bolsters? Or sit down? Is the interior like the 22 Scarab?

Tigger,
I have a bone stock 1997 22 scarab, 454 bravo one with mirage 23P. I run it soley in the Ocean in So.Cal. Its usually rough out there but I get up to 65 when its smooth. I know it will do 65 easy on a lake. I love the boat but I want a Scarab 29 with twins for what im doing. Either that or a 28 Concept.

It has swivel sit down seats in 97.
