----Any one of the approximately 15 or so Finos left out of the production run of 30 would be as rare as any of the boats mentioned above and arguably way better looking. And,,,They have quite a pedigree, being dreamed up by close Aronow pal Bobby Rautbord and designed by the incomparable Walt Walters.
----When you say no "performance boat" appreciates you might be stretching things a bit to include a Riva Super Aquarama, but they have gone into the statosphere in the last couple of years. Its my belief that Finos will travel that same path........Bill S

No I do not. I was talking with Andy last night who owned my boat in the 80's and he was telling me about the other flat deck Scarab (Crash Landing) that had the same paint job as his, but Crash Landing had 370's in it and his (Under Pressure) was the 475 HP turbo motors

I think these Old Tubs are holding their value quite well

I have a 1980 Wellcraft Scarab 377 with factory twin turbo Gale Banks BBC & SSM II drives. I have only seen one other Wellcraft like it. I just recently saw a Chris Craft 32' Scorpion that had the same package. I would say that my boat is a rarity in that Wellcraft probably made very few like it. The other boat that I think is similar to the Yenko's and Baldwin Motion cars would be the Chris Craft Stinger 312 Competition that popped up for sale a few months ago. http://www.offshoreonly.com/forums/c...mpetition.html The other boat I have in mind is the Cigarette 38 SE Cover Girl that was on the cover of Powerboat Magazine in 1988. http://www.offshoreonly.com/forums/g...rboat-mag.html
How else has boat like these that are oddities that the factory produced and has kept them old school looking?

I think I have seen that paint scheme on a another Scarab that Wellcraft used in one of their brochures. Any idea what that Scarab has in it for power? It looks like the skeg on one of the drives is missing?
I found this boat on CL and talked to the guy on the phone, but I guess some other members on here looked at it and said that the boats stringers and transom are a wreck and all the upholstery is shot.
I thought it would be cool to take an older Scarab that needed engine and put LSx engines in it.
