Ok been out of boating for over ten years. So getting back in after a divorce. So buddy has a nice updated painted and cockpit Scarab. I'm gonna do the motors over. Boat is a 34 I think with twin 330hp and TRs drives. But how can I tell what model and how much power this hull. An take?
Serial # is "wele ???? M83D-S340
Any help would be great.
Thanks John

I gather its a 1983 34 foot boat from that serial #???
M83D figure that's for 1983
S340 means Scarab 34 foot boat.
looking on-line at images, looks like a "Express Cruiser" If they made that model, or Scarab III without radar arch.
BUT the one I'm looking at has center door and twin bolsters, NOT side-by-side bolster and offset door.
ANY HELP????

Thanks guys, but the mystery has been solved, it's a SCARAB III. Was at the docks looking at taking out the Skater 482SS, and just shooting the breeze and asked, "do you know the model of the little boat", came back with "ya, ist a Scrarab III".
Thanks for all the help.
