Hi Guys, love the site, so many great looking boats!!

Could I ask a favour.....

Looking at buying this for some fun as a project. Guys says it's a Scarab but Scarab owners forum says its not one, so any ideas what it is?

There seems a wealth of knowledge on here so any feedback about the item would also be welcome.


Thanks

I do not know what it is but ask for the HIN.

apologies but whats a HIN? Hull Identification Number?

Its unlikely he knows it but I will ask.

Cheers
Paul

that is definitely not a ScarabIII of any vintage . . . .


HIN is the hull identification number. should be on the transom. Since you are over seas i am not sure if it still applies. I dont believe it is a copy of a 34 either. The ScarabIII had a feature line down the side and no lip as that one has about ten inches below the rub rail. Wish i could help but I'm stumped on that one, never seen a deck like that on anything

any views on what it might be, looks mid 80's style windscreen looking at most brands

it will on the transom.

Seats say TopGun . . . . must be a Cigarette



yeah i got nothin Whatever it is i doubt it is much newer then 85. What year does owner claim? She sure is a project but looks to be all there, thats a lot of work. Frome the pics it looks shorter then 34.



edit: I'm gonna revise my guess to late eighties based on the one piece trim tab rams (those came out around then) but the build style/quality looks earlier

Could it be an old sonic?

That was my thought, especially with the walk around on the deck.

Definately has the frt deck of one.

I'm gonna guess this boat is a 'Combo Boat.'

A combination of a whole lotta boats. LOL.
