    1990 Scarab Sportster 26 a good boat?

    Looking at a 26 ft 1990 Scarab Sportster with a 350 Verado on it. Are these good hulls? handle a chop well, ride decent?

    I have been on 2 of them over the years. Nice boat, narrow beam but that is a personal thing. From the Little I know look out for issues with the floor. I passed on a 302 with floor issues. It should move with a 350, it should cut through chop, not sure if it will do well if it’s real snotty out.
