That was the "Scarab School".

They made 6 P31's and 1 P38 . I was told that 1 of the P31's delaminated and was returned to the factory and destroyed. I have a P31 here in Ontario Canada and saw 1 fore sale on the west coast a few years a go. Not sure where the other 3 are , came with HP500's and bravo's . Great riding hull and will take all the power you can put in it.

Very new to the powerboat sport. I have had older early 20ft boats. I just bought a 1998 Scarab 29. I believe it to be a P29. From what I gather P stands for painted and mine has the checkers down the side of it and a red strip. Twin small blocks. They guy I bought it from claim 3/4 75MPH, I have no idea how true that is, seem kinda fast. The boat is being delivered to me in the next few hours and I am excited. Whether sucks here today but I am going to have to go for a hot lap anyways. Bad news.. The boat is a repo and is missing some items. If there is suck a thing as a boat salvage yard or anybody has any of this used for any reason please let me know. Its missing the rear hatch pad, and back seat. Also missing small things like stereo, cup holders etc. Gauges are kinda faded an I awould like to get new ones put in over the winter. Where is a good place to find a good deal on these? What are some good upgrades for this boat? I did as much homework on this boat as I could before buying it and I think I did ok but you guys will be best at telling me that. I paid 20k even with a trailer... Sounds cheap to me... Anyways, look forward to learning from this board, any help would be appriciated. Any info what so ever on this boat would be wonderful as well.

Ok after reading some more mine is not a P29 if its a 1998. What is mine considered?

A 29:drink:. Just Wellcrafts standard 29. The twin small block set ups in the standard 29 run 70-72 mph AT BEST.

I haven't been on here in a few months or so but I do still have the p-29 for sale here in Texas kinda stopped trying to sell it because it getting cold and the wrong time of year. The boat is in great condition and would let it go for $35000 can arrange delivery

Where were you 2 months ago? I bought a 95 29' and settled for a winter project. A P29 is what I really wanted.

Hey Mike, whats new with the P-38?

Nothing this year(so far). I put a new head and plumbing in last year. Push button operation an $2200 later (for the wife). Bought a britt red '08 F450 to pull it with last summer but only took it out 4 times in '10. Can't wait to take her out this year. Going to try to make it out for the POPRA Race and desert storm in Havasu in April.

It's not mine, but there is a cheap P-29 on boattrader right now if anyone is looking. I wish I was in the market right now...
