Hello Mike J. nice to hear from you !

1983- SCARAB-III, 502's 440 hp each.. last boat 93 Mariah 240z with 454 mag.. drive 98 Durango.. want ...BLOWERS!!!!!!!!!

1995 scarab 22ft used to have a 20 bayliner...(gotta start somewhere) usually slipped, but can tow with jeep cherokee, im retired(yep, at the ripe ole age of 40) next boat is gonna be a bigger scarab. once ya own one, there IS nothing else.........

Hey Hot Boat!

Can you do graphics like yours in the picture for a 22' Sacrab? I have an 89 that would look great with what you have int he picture... I'd sub silver/grey for the yellow to match the interior!

Nice work!

rw

Ditto what rwilson said here. My boat looks much like Mikesscarab28xlt, but with dark blue painted stripes instead of the aqua/teal color. It also does not have the word scarab on the side.... just wide open space. It is a 30' Panther. It would look good with something like what you are showing on your boat hot boat.

PS Sweet looking boats guys!.... gotta love the scarab style!

Let us know,

BT :cool:

I have a 1988 28ft Scarab Excel with a 500+ hp 502 and a 2000 Toyota Tundra SR-5 to tow it with.
I am an avid performance boat fan, I think I'm sick, at least that is what my wife tells me!!
Every waking moment is consumed by this "hobby".

You got one thing right. But it is not a hobby it is a addictive life style that consumes lots of $$$$$$$$. :)


Glad that you all like the boat. It looks 100 times better than the photo. The purple that is hard to see in the photo is really a wild color. it a luster look vinyl, kind of looks like anodized aluminum. I would love to be able to help anyone out with the graphics on there boats. But honestly I never designed my graphics. I had Ryan Beckley design them. I made an agreement with him to never copy the graphics onto another boat. But if any of you know what you want in the way of graphics I will be glad to help.

Scarab 28, The splitter
box is really 1 motor then
split to drive 2 jet pumps
or out drives.
Have ben installed on mostly Scarabs,16ft, 26'
29' and on Center consule
diesal fishing boats.
There are some on the RIBS
Ridged Bottom Inflatiables
Called "SCARIB" These were
built in 16ft, 34ft, 43ft
and 60ft, They are sold by
Team Scarab and not by
Wellcraft.
JB, If you really want a
16ft Scarab Jet sprint let
me know, I still own the
First one Built and was
involved in that project
from Chalk marks on the
floor at Team Scarab.
There are not a lot around
Email me and I will send
photos.
Mike J.

29Scarab send pic to me too !!! All you have, no problem ! :D

Mike J. how many HP one engine need for two drives in a 29`???

Hi Michael: In the bunch
of photos I sent you theres a shot of the Splitter Box in the lower
right hand corner on the
info about the SCARIBS.
Can you resend on this thread????
To answer your question,
The Splitter was built to
take Big HP, Infact in your case I think a Diesal
would be your best bet.
Will also send you some
photos of the 16ft Scarab
Jet Sprints to post, They
also are not a Wellcraft
Item.
Thanks Mike J.

Mike J. send the Pics again, i have the pics from the Scarrib´s but no pic from a splitterbox ???:confused: :confused:

Hey guys, '98 22 footer
tow it with a 88 ford crew cab dually- abit of overkill
daytona beach fl

Loosecannon,
That is exactly opposite of me.When I had my '95 22'Scarab I towed it with a lowered '95 Astro van with 18" wheels.People were amazed when it would pull the boat up the launch ramp with NO wheel spin with ease.I'd laugh when these guys would pull there 19' bayliners spinning the wheels all the way up the ramp with 1500 chevys and have people bouncing up and down in the beds trying to get traction......Mike
