Re-post this thread in the Cigarette section. Somebody really knowledgeable will respond. I'm a Scarab guy and this is just my basic

observations.

Not sure if you mean the 1993 or the 2000? The 2000 is a more impressive boat, with its Richie Zul engines, but looks like its showing

too many signs of living in Florida waters. I like the 1993. It came out of Iowa in 2022 and sold out of Performance Boat Center in the

$90k range. Nothing major has been done to it what I can tell and it still has one Bravo One X and one XR drive. With that much

torque due to the blower motors, count on replacing the X drive soon unless you are running the boat like a cruiser in calmer waters.

Timeless gelcoat design and clean interior etc. Nice boat on a good trailer.

Default Tg 38

Thanks for the input, I will post in the Cig section. I’m looking at the 93 and concur with your assessment on the drives will have to be addressed in the future. I’m hoping for a few gentle seasons out of her before that becomes a reality. If all goes well she’ll be a Havasu boat soon.

Scippy, where is your 35 listed, it looks real nice. The one at Big Thunder is more than I want to spend.
