cool boat, definately rare, I think they might have been a poor seller simply because they were sold along side the 22 scarab but with a steeper price tag. not sure on the 78-80mph but I do believe they were hitting 70 or slighly more and even came from the factory with hydraulic steering. I personally think the layout is pretty cool and unique... sort of ahead of it's day. heck I've seen outerlimits with smaller cockpits haha. like all boats it's about priority...if speed is your priority and it outweighs all then this is a good choice, as Super 24 mentioned I'm not sure how they handled the rough stuff or if that's even important to you. it's a tough justification seeing as even used they seem to list for double what the 22 scarabs of the same year sell for. that said they do seem to hold their value purely for their rarity. as far as things to look for I'd say the same thing as any boat that's 14 years old.
