This 38' Scarab is on craigslist now for $6500.00 or less ?? http://porthuron.craigslist.org/boa/1091171787.html It seams to have most of the parts, and looks to be a better deal than the Mirage record holder.

slightly...when you see a wellcraft advertised that says "may need a little transom work" it's probably time to completely gut it, redo all the stringers and transom.....

Restos are great fun and very satisfying. But not cheap. Guys look at a low number like that and fail to add up all the bits and parts they're going to have to hunt down and buy to put it together. The $90K was sort of a joke, but maybe not too far off...

03-28-2009 08:47 AMIsn't there something in the VIN number that you can tell if it's a Kevlar hull or not? The trailer says it would be.
Getting bad advice is unfortunate, taking bad advice is a Serious matter!!

03-29-2009 12:49 AMRat....looks like Kevlar was an option. I have a Wellcraft brochure from 1981 and it mentions that wellcraft has introduced a special edition Scarab kaama. It is a flush deck version of the 377 with side by side engines. A kevlar hull may also be ordered. The picture of the boat says "Kaama Special edition" on the side of the hull and the boat has the race hatches.

All Wellcrafts made of kevlar had the word KEVLAR under the HIN number in same fonts.
I´ve witnessed a few personally, even a 34 Ninja like that and the Kevlar in them was just some little reinforcements and nothing to the degree of a LS Scarab.
Gus Anastasia stated himself once that the Kevlar in Wellcrafts was justabout a sales trick any weight one could shed by opting kevlar on Wellcraft Scarab wasn´t more than 500lbs tops and this is from Anastasia himself.
