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!
Thanks!

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!

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.
