Hi, this is my first post on OSO. I'm from Chile. Me and my dad are looking to buy our first off shore boat. We currently own a SeaRay 210 for watersports, but want to have a bigger boat. As we will be riding in the south pacific with big seas (between 3-5 feet as best) we defined that the boat to go is the Scarab 33 AVS, and as the boat will spend 2 months on salt water every season we need it to have closed cooling.

Well, we found that boat, and it is listed in a few places, including OSO classifieds, here is the link:

Here is the question: does somebody knows this boat?


Thanks!!

Check your PMs

Wow! Thats a fast yes answer!!! Power of oso i guess! Or power of the owner!!! ???

Thanks, Mark. I answered your PM!!

Anybody who knows the boat??

I fly to Santiago about twice a month (pilot) where are you boating? Your country is very nice and clean, I can imagine the boating is wonderful. Have you considered the 38' Scarab? it will handle the 3-5 footers a little better. Also can you tow the boat? I really have not seen many big trucks or towing rigs down south..so I imaging you will keep it on a lift or dry storage?

I would take a hard look at the Blue/Yellow 33 avs that GSC has listed - boat is literally like new condition

Hi Mink, I've seen that ad. The downside of that boat is the raw water cooled engines. The closed cooling is a must for me.

Hi JetJock, my dad is also a pilot (ex-Lan, now corporate). I boat at Pichidangui (120 miles north of Santiago), and yes, it's wonderful. I have considered bigger boats, but as we will tow the boat once a year 120 miles with some steep-long hills, ended with a 35 foot as a maximum length. We will be towing the boat with a half ton Silverado 2015 or if needed upgrade to a 3/4 ton Ram Cummins (don't want to go too big as the truck will be used as dd).
As for facilities, the boat will be kept on water hang to a buoy, no marina facilities at Pichidangui, yet.... Once the season ends: we will get the boat back to Santiago for storage and maintenance.

Greetings, and have a safe flight.
