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 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...
