To the best of my knowledge there was no Scarab II in 1988, I looked at an old brochure last night. Scarab II was a 30 ft raised deck with full windshield made from early to mid 80's. You may be refering to Panther model, same hull, but flat deck with fairing made from mid to late 80's, and the same boat with low windshield and flat deck marketed as Scarab s type from early 80's to mid 80's. The Panther model replaced it. All these boats had the very same hull 24 degree deadrise, and this hull is one of three, the others being the 38 and the 43 developed by Larry Smith and proven in racing. You may be refering to the 34 Scarab III, a very nice but heavier boat with somewhat of a hook built into the hull, the others are built with a lot of rocker as that worked better with drives placed higher. All the other 30 ft and up Scarabs in 88, the 38, 34, and Ninja had 23 degree deadrise. If I can help further, email me, I have a lot of old stuff on these boats. I owned an 82 30ft Scarab II and a 1987 38KV. Put Scarab in the subject line if you email.
