43' Scarab with triple 525's performance?

Hi guys,

What sort of performance would you expect from a 43 Thunder with triple 525SC? i.e cruise mph and top end.

Cheers

James

Hey WB...

The one I have, for sale I might add, cruises around 50 MPH at about 3K RPM and gets a mile to the gallon... WOT is in the light 80's depending on the load... More efficient and less work on the engines than a 38 with twins and the engines are bulletproof... Any other questions just give a yell...

Thanks, Karl

Is this one yours? That is the most beautiful Scarab I have ever seen. If I win the lotto you can consider it sold.

Yup, that's mine... Thanks for the compliment! It is really a nice clean boat which needs a new home... I really don't need to own three boats but that's the way things go... Someone should have this boat for the fourth of July... Good luck on the LOTTO...

Thanks, Karl

Thanks 29...

I have owned the boat for 6 years and it needs nothing but a new owner... Unfortunately, I have two others... Bought a center console with egg beaters which better suit my needs for diving and playing in the Bahamas... If the wife changes her mind just give a yell...

Thanks, Karl

Hey UE...

The paint is box stock Wellcraft... If I had done it I would not have put the Wellcraft in yellow within the purple... Thanks and I agree on the Lotto...

Thanks, Karl

Hey Roby,

How are things these days... I think I have it sold with a sea trial on Tuesday... I have sent a few deposit checks back but not for the sea trial... FINANCING!!! Seems like everyone wants the boat but bringing the check to the table is another issue... Hope everything is good for you too...

Thanks, Karl
