Help me out.
Sure wish someone would take an interest in my Scorpion. $9000.00 is a drop in the bucket. I want to buy a Harley and the wife say's only one toy at a time. I know alot of you don't like them for one reason or another. The truth of the matter is, that I haven't had one lick of trouble with mine. I have been very happy with the performance, the way it takes a set, and the way the boat turns. I had the bottom printed after about 6 months, and she runs like a scalded rat.
You will get wet if you cross a wake wrong, but hey who's perfect. I see that people are buying the hell out of the Liberator, Uh - Can we say same boat?
Oh well, if no one wants it I will buy the Harley anyway and listen to the perrinial crabbing. So please someone could save me by buying the Scorpion.

Hey guys, I really want to sell this rig. No matter what the forums say, it is a sweet setup. Just bought a new 2004 Ford F-350 dually and need some cash. I have done a lot of work to it to get the max out of the hull. I will seperate the boat, motor, and spare parts if someone wants to make an offer or I have lowered the package price to $8500.00
