1985, Wellcraft 34, Scarab III
Scarab III 34".

Hello everybody!
I,ve just bought a -85 Scarab III, and would like to get some info on where to find out about the history of the boat. I've allways wanted one like this, and found it last oktober. I'm norwegian and live in Norway. Not too many around up here in the cold north!
As far as I can tell, this one is original; twin mercruisers, 330 HP, black and yellow paint and supposed to make approx. 50 knots. Anybody able to tell if there's any clubs around? Anything on the net? Will apriciate any info I can get my hands on!

Batboat, 38 Donzi ZX, 16 Sidewinder, 10' Zodiac and a ScarabIII
Love mine, I have an 89 and a 38 Donzi ZX and to tell you the truth my ScarabIII is way more comfortable and easier to do 3 an 4 day weekends on. Tons of room and rides great. Mine has 365 Mags and hits 60 but getting fresh mills this winter so we'll see what she does this summer. it's all original and has less than 400 hours on it from new.
