Congrats on the boat. Like said before a little big for me ( I struggle sometimes with my 38') but Meteors are awesome and yours looks to be the nicest one i've seen. The only thing that I think would make a boat like that better would be big twin diesels. But that drives the price way up. But probably would bring maintenence down if run frequently though. Do you tow it? Also the post title says "Sacarb" Meteor, so make sure you didn't get a fake. Mike

No - it's not a fake! Not sure of the exact timeframe, but Wellcraft and Scarab were the same company at one point. You can search on Scarab Meteor and Wellcraft Meteor with the same result - though you can find some people calling their boats one name and some the other.

Hardest thing so far is low speed dock maneuvers. The marina is really tight! I am going to need to get a lot better especially if the wind starts blowing.

At any rate, it is a big, honkin fast boat!

You get a chance post some pics of the inside...

Is it possible to install a bow thruster?

I acutally had 2 of the HP425's that came out of that boat before it was rebuilt. It had red hull sides before the rebuild.

Nice Boat!

MORE PICS PLEASE!!!!

Interesting. You know Dan? I have a few pictures of before the boat was redone. Not much information on Meteors available. Guess not that many were built. I found the boat was also named Extracurricular II and Bandit in previous lives. I will stick with Triple Threat - it is embroidered into the seats and painted across the sides so the name works for me.

Anyone know the history of this boat or the Wellcraft/Scarab Meteor 5000's?

I will get some more pictures. I am planning on doing some cleaning and maintenance this weekend if I can remember.

I know Dan from Texoma. I had a dock condo across from this boat when it was on the lift.

Here are some more pictures- enjoy!

Hope to get out this weekend after I get some things fixed.

i know the history of that 50 real good i rerig that boat years ago for dan im happy that it looks that good good luck with it
