Re: Mercury RS-Drive ??
I would run away from that deal.
1. The seller claims it's a '89
-Last year for Scarab II was '87, (you were right Gerhard)
2. The seller is talking about RS performance drives, bla bla bla...
-He is full of bullsh!t, or have no idea what he is talking about!
3. Engine package is way too small for that boat, and probably very old too.
4. The seller claims 95 km/h (60 mph) top speed.
-Again, he is a lier. I don't think she is faster than 45-50.
Gerhard, think twice before you buy it! Have a look at other Scarab II's to compare with.
Good Luck!
Jonas.

Re: Mercury RS-Drive ??
Hy Jonas,
thank you for your valuable comments. You say what I thought this night.
I one of you knows a 30' Scarab II between 1980 and 1987 in a good shape, please tell me.

Re: Mercury RS-Drive ??
In the mid 80's Wellcraft made a 30 ft Scarab II and a 30 ft Scarab Panther along with a few others. The Scarab II had a raised deck for more headroom in the cabin and a higher windshield. The Panther had a flat deck and a low windshild for the sporting look. I am surprised at the power/ drive combo. By that time everyone was going with 454 Mag/Bravo. Smallblocks were probably available but they would've used Alphas. The 420 was probably phased out by then. With smallblocks they would go 56-58, with 330's 62 and with 420's about 70.
