I talked to them monday and sent over an offer. He said it would probably sell today.

but it was an awsome deal if it was sold under30k, wish i was out sooner!

I know of a 91 , 38 SCARAB with Gellner 502's for 25K

Damn......giving them away!

That is almost unbelievable -- why so cheap?

I saw this boat in the spring when I bought mine. Lets just say the pictures show really really good. I hope who ever bought it saw it in person first.

I bought the 96 38 scarab was a great deal at 30k I was looking at a 93 scarab thunder at eliminator boats and the owner went up on our agreed price of 40 to 47 I told him to pound sand when I found this one it is alot cleaner and 3 years newer. The people at national liquidators were very professional. They where a lot of help also, made it nice that the boat was only 40 miles from my home . I have been looking at trailers if any one knows of a good deal in southern ca. Have been talking with the guy who owns the myco in the classified still wants a lot for a mid 90 trailer . The new scarab will make a nice up grade form my 90 30 scarab panther and my old larry smith, that one is for sale cheep on ebay. only down side is owner has not done any thing sense i sold it to him 4 years ago looking at the pics

What size thunder was the '93? I sold my 1993 31' scarab (Fittipaldi) 2 years ago for $32.5. Cosmetically it was a 5 structurally it was a 7 mechanically it was a 9.5. Kind of miss the reliability. Mike

It is a 38 .The owner of the boat put it on craigs list so he not going to half to pay elininator there 10 % so he may take less check in the la not the inland enpire just serch scarab in craigs list the boat is a 8.5 cos and mech it has the older 502 mags with mefi 1 and regular v belts not serp. I will call you soon wating on my new trailer will take the boats out to the lake.

Did you get much interest when you had your 31' up for sale? I am thinking about putting mine up.

We can't even give them away. The older boats are just not selling.

Sorry for the late response. I was in Havasu for a week (boat ran perfect-thank God). As far as y 31'. It was 2 years ago- not as much competition for sale then. Now with 38's going for $30-50 who knows. At the time I had a rare boat (good and bad), that I bought for $42k in '01 that was in terrible shape. I dumped AT LEAST $25k into it before selling it for $32.5. (yes, I lost $35k on the boat over 6 years). I had it at $42k for a while, then $38k then $35k then finally settled for $32.5. All in all it took about 3 months to sell. To get one sold now you might have to dip into the mid $20's. It's definatly a buyers market.

just wanted to update on the deal I got when I got the boat it was in dry storage no trailer to run and check out . bought the boat and a trailer tested at lake Elsinore with all the dead fish . ran good but over heated on the starboard eng bad . found that the feed hoses in the gimbal housings where bad only fix with out pulling the engines was low water pick ups better for this size boat anyway . took out the boat to havisu the weekend of 8-24 boat ran great ran about a 100 gal of fuel !!!!!!!! then took it out to catalina last weekend put over a hundred miles on the boat in one day boat ran great again AND NO OVER HEATING... some times you get lucky buying repos real sorry to the person that lost it to the bank. i hope the did not lose too much . I am sure they have to have hated to overheating problem hear are some pic

Awesome, glad to see you have had good luck with it. Where did you launch to go to Catalina? We still need to get together and compare notes.

AWESOME!


Welcome the to the LONG DECK 38 club!


Post some pics!

Hi guys. I've been looking at a boat listed as a 93 Scarab 31' Fittipaldi. Nice boat, but I can't find any references to a 31' Fittipaldi - the references that I can find are for a 91 34' model. Can anyone shed any light? And what are these going for at the moment anyhow? Thanks!

I have a real nice 34' Scarab III w/fresh 600hp motors ,all fresh TRS/Borg Warner drive train, moving up priced for a quick sale 21k..

Scarab3DMC - That's a very long haul to get it here, but can you send me some pics - if the $ work out and the Fittipaldi falls through I may be interested. Send to [email protected].

cbm can you tell me how to check that feed in the gimbal. I'm having a heating water pressure issue that I can't figure out. Does not over heat but will reach 170 at 4800. I already checked thermostat and housing, water pump, and back flushed system.

Thats my old boat. I owned it fron 10/01 to 4/07. It was a reliable boat, ran pretty fast (68-72 mph) was a little rough cosmetically, but never a good boat none the less. It has a Kevlar Hull.

Michael: This is a black hull with a red stripe - is that the one? Can you give me some history on it? Is there actually such a thing as a 93 Fittipaldi 31'? Wellcraft only lists a 91 34' as a "Fittipaldi" model. I'm a bit confused!

There is acually another identical boat in Minnisota. It is acually black on the bottom and the sides are acually charcoal grey. The boat was originally sold from Millers Landing in Newport Beach. The original owner died on the boat off the coast in Laguna beach and it almost sunk at that time. The second owner, a real character ,Corky, bought it in 1997 and continued it's trashing. I bought it in 2001 for $42k and invested another $25k over the next 3 years. In 2003 I bought a pair of 50 hour motors from Dave Anderson a member her on OSO and the boat ran pretty much trouble free for the next 4 years. I sold it 2 years ago because I always wanted a 38' and cosmetically it wasn't as clean as I like. I sold it to a couple in Irvine (down the road from where my 38' came from) and he sold it a year later (his wife sadly got sick and passed away just recently). Supposedly it's last owner lived(lives?) in Fallbrook.
