I have some pictures from before/after, but would be interested to see what you have. I wonder if they are the same ones? Also, if you know the history, I would like to make some notes on it for future reference.

Thanks!

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!

Wellcraft have always built Scarabs. Thats why there are no more Scarabs being built, Wellcraft stop making them. The Meteor was built by Wellcraft.

Rushjunky saw you at the Newburgh water front on Sat, that is one awesome boat you have. Good luck with her, I hope we catch up with one another some time.

JB, sure, I will try to keep an eye out for you. Shortly before you took the pic at the marina, I had it up to about 75 at a bit over 5,000 RPM. While I was tied up, a big wake was have hit the boat because it snapped a bow line. Triple Threat is running good this year, and, so far, nothing big broke yet.

Boat looks great! You can get some of the history right from Wellcraft. I was able to find out which dealer ordered the boat and a complete list of all the options. Send them the hull number and I got the drive and engine serial numbers, colors and so forth. It was a good feeling to know that my boat is all stock with original power.
