You'll love it. It will turn more heads than a brand new boat.

Thanks, Gerhard
Twin 350s and TRS drives on that boat will leave you wishing you bought a single engine ski boat. I have an S-Type with Kaama Drives and neither I nor anyone I let drive the boat has any trouble docking it (provided they know anything about twin engines). The drives are fast, efficient and tough as nails. Planing is a little longer than with an outdrive, but the trade off for speed and reliability is MORE than worth it. Had mine for 5 years so far. Only drive repair was patching a boot 3 years ago -- $50.

Post pics -- I always like to see more of these set ups. Great boats.

Welcome to the club. You'll be glad you bought it. People that say how hard they are to dock never have done it. Just come in slow, I come in on one engine only. We want to see some roost soon!

Guys -- welcome Gerhard to the club. He is a great guy and has honorable intentions for my baby. Also, whoever said he was wrong about Wellcraft making a "Cougar Cat" will need to eat their words. Gerhard has the Wellcraft brocheures from 1981 and 1989 in MINT condition. There WAS a 30' Cougar Cat offered by Wellcraft.

Thank you Yves, and sorry: it's too late.
Was searching for months in the internet. The market in Europe isn't overwhelming... and by searching I felt in love with the Kaama's - do you really know a Scarab w/ Kaama's in Europe to sell?? If not, see it positive: Now we have one more.
