I know of one in great shape but you'll have to buy the whole boat it's a 20 something Scarab with sm Blk. I just got off the phone with him. Call Glen 443.790.6873 Mabye to can hash out a good price...

i looked into getting a pair for my scorpion and was told that they are not really worth the effort when you consider they are almost imposible to find (kind of like the ssm#2), parts are getting scarce,and they arent avaliable in a counter rotator. my biggest concern was if i broke one how long i would be down. if you are running a single you might be able to deal with these problems a bit better. i have heard they do perform better and i have also been told they share the lower unit with the v6 outboard mercs. good luck

THEY ARE SHORTER AND HAVE A BUILT IN NOSECONE,I BELIEVE THAT THE PROP SHAFT IS FARTHER BACK.
I'VE ALSO BEEN TOLD THEY USE THE SAME LOWER AS A V6 OUTBOARD.
GEARS ARE ALL THE SAME AS STANDARD ALPHA AND GEN 2, THEY JUST USE DIFFERENT SHAFTS. BUT SHAFTS ARE STILL AVAILABLE.

DO HAVE A CUSTOMER WITH THAT IS SELLING ONE WITH A BAD UPPER 1.32 GEARSET. IT WAS COMPLETELY REBUILT @15 HOURS BEFORE IT BROKE. IT ALSO COMES WITH A DRIVE SHOWER. HE WANTS $1200 AND WILL GIVE A GOOD USED SET OF GEARS AND A NEW SET OF BEARINGS AND SEALS.
