Anyone have a 43' Scarab?

[JETJOCK]

Damit! I just saw one awesome 43' Excel Scarab and the blood is pumping!


Anyone own one of these beasts?


I love my 38KV Miami Vice and Portofino ....but holly sheet is that 43' cool! Triple burners in the back!

Lets see some pics and stories!

Forget it ------- those things things burn more fuel than an F4 Phantom in afterburner mode!!!!!!!!!!!Oh I forgot you didn't have to pay when ever the tanker showed up!!Ba,ha ,ha, ha, ha,ha ,ha.... JP5 or JP8 ?????


You need to get another job just to pay for the fuel!!

Randy,, put a couple 1500hp turbines in that 43 and it would be the perfect boat
and you could just "borrow" fuel from work..
LOL..
:D

[Quinlan]

[JETJOCK]

Yeah it would.....I keep hearing about a pay raise at work, so we will see.

[Bilgerat]

one for sale at LOTO

[Cigboat#1]

Randy, Did you get the pictures???



Jim

[JPD MOTORSPORTS]

bilgerat, any other info on the one at loto?

[Bilgerat]

Currently it's here at my shop, had been sitting a while and i just did one of the carbs to see if she is gonna run out. The owner has had it for sale for a while, but is recently motivated to get it gone. I don't know for sure what he wants out of it. It has been listed on brokerage sights before. I could get you more pics or in touch with the owner if you would like. I am not a Boat Salesman, ( too honest ) we do have a repair shop, and this one will be going back into winter storage as soon as we get time to probably water test it. Again let me know if I can get you any more info or specific pics questions etc. It does not have a trailer with it, and that is part of the reason it's getting put back away it is on a borrowed trailer. Soon will be set down in back for storage again. I do believe he is motivated to get it gone though so if you know anyone with interest, let me know.

Wow not sure what hsppend there ! This is curant pic73682

[old377guy]

Excellent

[Bilgerat]

There is still a customer here who wants to try and sell his 43 w trip 500 carbs. I think he really needs to get rid of it but it still may be too much money, I don't know, I don't sell boats or have any real idea what they are worth, but he has had it on local classified and craigslist etc. for a while and its still here so maybe its not a deal.

Id like to have 33 or 38 AVS. Great looking boats. Trying to downsize.

Here's one on Ebay caught my eye

DISTRESS SALE - 1995 43' Wellcraft Scarab Powerboat Performance Boat 500 HP's in Powerboats & Motorboats | eBay Motors (http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/DISTRESS-SALE-1995-43-Wellcraft-Scarab-Powerboat-Performance-Boat-500-HPs-/321022930994?forcev4exp=true)

Incredible on the first glance. ( 3 ) 500 horse 454's Looks nice

[Ratickle]

Nice find, welcome to the site.

I'm curious on those engines though. It looks like they may be HP 500's (502 cu in ), instead of 500hp 454's?????? If so, that's a great engine package.....
