I know there are some serious scarab lovers on this board, but every wellcraft I've ever been on has been a piece of crap.
I have not been on a 38 scarab though, maybe they paid better attention when they built them?

I'd go with the KV, much nicer looking with classic lines. Apache priced too high and will cost alot to maintain IMO, even though it also has great lines.

Something about the mid-late eighties and boats that were glassed in Florida. Too much powder and too many guys who didn't care. A guy who worked at Chris Craft at the time said that the molds were great, getting good glass crews to stay on a tab until it was completely glassed was another thing altogether.

My 1979 Wellcraft was a tank. Still being used on the Georgian Bay. The current owner sends pics.

I agree with the year range that you suggest.
I think that you really need to triple check glass, transom, stringers and tabbing on anything from like 83 to 93.
Not that a person wouldn't have a boat surveyed anyway, but I think those were bad years for glass work.
