Lucky is right-the ad says "Larry Smith Scarab"-which is wrong, it is a Wellcraft Scarab. This boat was an insurance rescue by Lindsey Prarie-who had a fiberglass shop in Barnegat Light. This Scarab caught on fire, and was "rebuilt" with a custom race deck/cockpit.

I do like this Scarab!
The Magnum Sport was sold in SC several months back, then it showed up on Craigslist in the LA Calif area and now NYC.
and for less money then before

Cool boat...always liked the deck and triple bolsters. Last I remember it had 650 or 700hp Kurts Marine smallblocks w/TRS on those homemade extension boxes. Supposedly ran 103 mph. Seems like a good deal if its real and its your thing.

I emailed.
Not the kind of reply i'd want to buy from.
Barely answered any of my questions and would send any pics.
And yes, the message when you call is rediculous.
