Engines were built by Ed Smith out of Freemont OH in 2006 - I've read a little bit about him on here - Assuming that this is good news?

Looks like you have a nice boat there. Good friend of mine bought a Scarab Panther new and has it to this day, great boat, always ran well, classic styling that looks good today. Congrats and enjoy!

I think it is a good looking boat. It was forsale a few years ago at a boat shop on 163 just east of North Shore Blvd in Marblehead. It was there for a while and then I just saw it at J&J on 53 a few weeks ago.
