Love the strongbad icon ragtop.
Wow, thanks for all the responses. For everyone's information:
1) My origional fountain offer came from my post
http://www.offshoreonly.com/forums/s...threadid=63509
from the user turbineboat. However, he has not gotten back to me, so he may be using it for a project again
2) The 30' scarab came from ebay,
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...tem=3646200130
I bid up to $1000, but did not meet reserve. The seller was going to send me photos, but I have not heard a respose in several days. IF anyone is interested in this hull, contact me and I will give you all contact information I have.
3) I am very interested in both the 35 mistress and the 84' 10m Executioner. What's an approxomate price on that mistress? If it's on the high side, I might make an offer on the fountain. Lauderdale is a lot closer than NY, but if it's really expensive I am not interested. mshea, I might e-mail you when I figgure out which direction I am taking, I currently have three good options including yours. If you have any photos please post them. What state of the repower is the boat in ?
4) I found the following on Ebay, and am also seriously considering it, especially if no one bids on it:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...tem=2453020503
This is a good option because it is already running at a decent speed, is 100% assembled, and allows me to upgrade. However, I won't be able to get as fast as the fountain or the Mistress
Thanks for the replies,
Paul Rohrbaugh

Paul,
The Mistress is a 1979. I looked at it personally and it is very nice, original cond. Some teak in the cockpit, the cabin is loaded w/teak. The asking price is 15k, but they need to get rid of it. I would have bought it except we are about 2k away from each other. I know, I know but its all I've got in cash.
call Frank 954-650-1761
or Bill Sr. 754-234-5506
It actually kills me to circulate this as I would love to buy this boat. Realistically, it won't last until I get more$.

Thanks to everyone for all their advice on hulls. I have decided that with all the respective costs, building a boat from scratch will wait for several more years, if I ever attempt it. I found a 30' scarb on Ebay, and when it did not sell, I made an offer to the seller. I have sent off the deposit for this, which will cost me $20k with delivery to Florida.

He says it runs 75 GPS, and 940HP could possibly produce even more in a boat that size.
Seller claims to have a recent survey, which I should be getting shorly. Anything I should look for (potental problem wise)?
Thanks,
Paul

I'd love to see some pictures of how it went and how it looks
but yeah, I can't really rebuild a boat at my house, and something that runs as soon as it hits the water but still has upgrade potental seemed to be the best option.
The person selling the 1977 30' is still selling it, if anyone is interested, I can have my son put the pictures on his website as soon as he gets it back up.

paulr -- You stole that boat. Know why the exhaust tips are turned down? Because that SH!T is gonna be noisy! That looks like a dry exhaust system (Hardin) on there. When you crank it up it is gonna sound like a WWII bomber warming up. Look it over closely, but that price is WAY CHEAP.

On my 78 the hull and deck were not glassed together. Just screwed. The hull was very flexible. I don't know if later Scarabs were done differently. If his hp numbers are correct, the speeds sound about right.
