I have some pictures from before/after, but would be interested to see what you have. I wonder if they are the same ones? Also, if you know the history, I would like to make some notes on it for future reference.
No - it's not a fake! Not sure of the exact timeframe, but Wellcraft and Scarab were the same company at one point. You can search on Scarab Meteor and Wellcraft Meteor with the same result - though you can find some people calling their boats one name and some the other.
Hardest thing so far is low speed dock maneuvers. The marina is really tight! I am going to need to get a lot better especially if the wind starts blowing.
At any rate, it is a big, honkin fast boat!
Wellcraft have always built Scarabs. Thats why there are no more Scarabs being built, Wellcraft stop making them. The Meteor was built by Wellcraft.
