    What do you think of the Scarab 195 Open Fish?

    Seems like $40 k is too much for a 19’. Around Michigan and Florida new, between $30-40k. For 2017/2018. I got these figures while checking prices. I, myself am looking at these boats, trying to find out what their respective owners think of them. This is to help me decide which one to buy.
