You said it. I have a receipt for the motor that is close to what I am asking for the whole boat.
New baby forces the sale...

Not sure if you have a Facebook, but I would post this to Powerboat Swap Shop, it is a group on FB. Those east coast and mid west guys would be all over this boat.

Unfortunately, no facebook. My mechanic went through the motor and drive, freshened everything up and confirmed all is in tip top condition. Ready for the water...

Motor alone cost about what I'm trying to sell the whole boat for. Someone is going to get a killer hot rod boat for a great price!

1998 Wellcraft Scarab SCS 23 w/ full Kevlar hull. Full custom restoration inside and out, one of a kind! 750 horsepower: blown mercruiser 509 roller motor with high performance lifters, hardened crank, J+E pistons, custom ported heads, Vortech supercharger with after-cooler, fuel injection, MSD ignition, Imco exhaust. Engine was built from the ground up with a very specific design. Bravo XR drive w/ external hydraulic ram steering, freshly serviced. Custom labbed 30 pitch prop. Boat goes 90mph in cool weather, will do 85 mph with 4 people, full tank of gas, and 2 coolers in 100 degree weather. Motor costs $23,000 alone, plus it has a newer $4000 trailer, and almost $4000 into the Dana 1000 tabs. The Kevlar hull is very light, so its not as stressful on the drive. There is no wood in the hull either, so no stringer rot to worry about. Integrated swim platform on rear. Custom interior with full carpet. Custom paint inside and out with hand-painted graphics. Huge stereo with the best of everything. 3 amps, 11 speaker (including 1 15 and 2 10 subs). Ipod connection, cd changer. Triple oversized batteries with on-board charger let you crank the stereo all day with no worries. Have receipts for everything, 2nd owner. Comes with a bimini top as well. Boat is in Lake Havasu and has only been used in fresh water. Call 310-422-3374

Price reduced to $36,900 OBO

Price reduced to $34,500. Ready for the summer!!

Price reduced again to $31,500 for quick sale!

Wow, started at $40,000 and now you will let the Scarab 23 go for $25,000? Your deep V SCS 23 looks almost new! Someone is going to get a lot of performance for $25k.

So I know this is a long shot but this is the second place I have seen this boat listed today and all of the threads are old so I am assuming it has been sold. If it is still for sale please let me know.

Thanks!

Sold a long time ago. I'm in the market to buy another boat and can't believe the used prices now. Ridiculous!

I'm right there with you... Boats that were for sale 5 years ago for 35k people are now asking 60-70k for.... unreal.

Within two years I believe we'll be seeing a lot of today's prices slashed 50%-75%. Mint prime brand boats, owned by independently wealthy solid folks, will maybe only drop 30% though. A nice Scarab 23 SCS is +$25k now and will be upper teens in the next recession due to quality and rarity, but the average Cal Kustom 10-year-old boat that now fetches $45k, will be low $20k at best then imho.
