Boat for Sale - MDR - my 30 Ft Go Fast & Fish Fast


Hi all,

OK the Scarab is for sale. Just had so much fun but can not take a lot of people along for weekends at the island.

Getting you to the fishin spot is not enough for the wife. He he he.

Perfect for 2 men on long trips. 3/4 men for a short day trip. Or best yet, 2 dads and 2 kids!

See http://www.mdranglers.com/forsale/scarab-30.htm for info on my baby.

We went out on Sunday and got some fun Bonita in the bay. Boy is it fun to go 38 knots for cruise and 40 to 42 knots flat out!

With Radar and Rod holders on the arch and a Spot Light up there for finding the lobster nets it is a no brainer as to why I love this boat for the local fishing. Big Bait tank.

Fits in the 30 foot slip. Props come all the way out of the water so no big issues on water hurting the engines. Nice. I have been getting great prices on the fuel by using jerry cans from the more affordable gas on shore.

Was asking $24 k and now willing to come down $6k as I think I see the my next boat on the radar. 34 foot and sleeps 6. My fuel bill will go up some but my creature comforts for the wife will go way up.

My loss ... Your Gain. Only $18,000 for the fastest fishing boat in its class.
Docked in Marina Del Rey, California. A fun Welcraft Scarab Sportfish Center Console.

Check it out.

Little Boat Ride with Kids

Boat Ride to bonito land... Just 4 miles out of Marina Del Rey on Sunday with Ryan.

The boat did not feel like running today. I need to have a rather small prop. problem worked on.

So we went slow just like the old Betty O and just fast enough to Troll Tuna feathers in the right areas where the bonito had chased up bait. Fun ensued. Fast. Frequently. Ever 3 and 4 hookups at one time. Just very cool.

Two teen age boys and two dads. Lots of Sunshine. Lots of pretty blue water with little waves. What a great Day.

Did go try a few drifts for halibut near Topanga and Santa Monica Cyn. with no luck. But for a little excitement we hooked up a fish that fought hard and gave me a lot of fight. Not letting us get a look at it and working very hard to not come up. I was on very light line and a long wippy stick. It took a lot of patience to work it up to the side of the boat. It finally turned out to be a Guitarfish. aka a Shovel Nosed Shark. But what the hay... I got to show the buys how to fight a big fish successfully to the boat on ultra light line.

If that had been a Halibut!!! It would have been well over the 18# halibut that was holding the top spot on the leaderboard at the Bait Dock. And we had put in for the monthly Jackpot for the Day's fishing.

Next time.
Things are good.

(Meanwhile both props are going in for service and we will be back to full speed in 1 to 2 weeks.)

In Search of . . . Pointy Fishies

Going out again for a little marlin tournament... KHMC in Avalon.

Marlin fishing is hours of boredom punctuated with moments of sheer panic!


So we may as well have a hell of a lot of fun out there in the wilderness of the wild blue ocean.

Looking for a little blessing from the Fish Wish source. May we please have a flat sea and that luck to Hook Up on a big marlin or 2 or 3.

That would be fun.
