22' Scarab - 7.4 carb in 1998?
On the Wellcraft site, it doesn't appear that the 7.4 was available in 1998 with a carb, only the MPI. Yet my boat, and other 1998s that I've seen advertised, have the carb, and the MPI seems like an uncommon option.
In the service manual I have, there isn't even a listing for the 7.4 being available with a carb in 1998, only up through 1997. Am I missing something here? Or did Wellcraft just use leftover 1997 motors in the 1998? Thanks, Andrew |

It's a boat not a car. I think anything goes.

it could also be that the person who bought the boat in the first place ordered the boat with a carb engine instead of the mpi...you find people who tend to prefer a carburated engine rather that an electronically equipped one....and im one of them....
infact my 22 scarab has a 454 carb... |
1998 22 sport
i bought a 22 scarab sport brand new in 1998 and it came 454 carb,330 hp. and i have seen many more just like it in the past. i paid 38,500 and it was a fun machine great mid range power
