I guess outboards aren't for everyone. How'd Nina run?

Turn's like it is on rails. Her owner is scared to air her out, but WOT barely breaks 100. I think she has been to 102. We were pretty hammered when we had her out that day.

It rides really good on Conroe, but I think he has problems with her in anything over 2'.

the ib/ob talons have a wedge in the tunnel and the outboard have a smooth bottom tunnel... there is a white and yellow outboard one that was for sale years ago without power that now has newer merc outboards on it. I think the cabin in the back is a great idea on these boats, but is moves the cockpit forward and bakes the boat look shorters since the bow is shorter.

I like the wildcat that is on boat trader with #8 arnesons built for diesels that has no power

Why are you selling the Scarab? I thought it was one of the best riding 38 footers out there.

Not fast enough. Might keep it anyway and keep it for a lake boat. Shopping my options right now.
