2 questions.
My Scarab is for finally for sale and I'm looking at TG's, but getting confused on the cabin layouts. I want a full cabin, preferably like the one in the pict below that has 2 single seats with a table, a small settee, enclosed head and V-berth. What year was the last where this cabin was available?
Also, what year did the Twin Steps begin? I'm assuming Cig doesn't offer both standard and TS hull.
Thanks in advance!

Example:
The Twin Step hull began in 2000. They make a Covergirl (half cabin) and extended covergirl (3/4 cabin). Both pictured below.
Hope this helps-

I can't even consider any 2000's or above then. That's great info and helps me narrow it down. Thanks.

For example:
1991 Carbon Fiber Top Gun with 525SC=72 MPH
1989 Fiberglass Top Gun with 650HP=70 MPH
Here is one I would check out.

Well . . . just like my 34' Scarab, top speed is about 10th on my priority list. I care more about how the boat has been taken care of, the engines need to be basically "1 to 1" (cubic inch to horsepower), ride like a cadillac in rough water and have a full cabin where I won't mind spending the night. My Scarab cabin is about equivalent to the Covergirl layout and not condusive to overnighters here on the bay. It's a great day boat, but that's about it unless you're 4' 11".
So I guess I don't want a Kevlar layup.
Budget is flexible to a point, it depends on the boat. You can eat off my current engines and see yourself in the reflection, I would expect same in any boat I would consider. Not interested in high HP engines because they're way over my head in terms of maintenance needs. My first set of Mercs in the Scarab lasted 13 seasons without any work other than changing the oil and tuning it up. I drive at 3200-3500 RPM range 90% of the time.
Looking for something no older than a 1998 model.

The last year of the full cabin was actually in 2000. The twin-step hull design did begin in 2000, but there are several conventional bottom, full cabin year 2000 top-guns out there as well...
