Wow, that is something else. I think he might have put the decimal point in the wrong place.

Seeing as how it's a scarab I'd go 2,399.90

yikes . . . wtf? . . . . talk about lack of effort and very lofty expectations lol



I'm guessing its a non boat owner or a car guy (cross ram?? thats gm street rod stuff) that got that thing with a mechanics lean or ??? and because its one of them cee-gar boats it must be worth a bunch of money lol


Wonder what he wants for the D-90's

I started looking at the 33 avs and then saw the 29's. I drove to rochester ny to see one just to get an idea on cabin space and this one looks very similar. Not sure if its the same but I told me wife that I couldn't wait to get home and shower after laying on the bed. The trailer had tire issues but did have the drive intact. Pictures are always 100% nicer than actual presentation on these POS boats.

yeah they did but GM makes a stand alone EFI system they also labeled Cross Ram or something Ram. . . . i forgot about the Chisler one, that was pretty funky for sure.

Actually, I am giving him credit for ad honesty. It IS a 502, but when it is only running on a few cylinders, like that one likely is, it will only make 300 hp
