Hmm well I stumbled across a 12k pound hydro hoist that was already in my marina and needed a new home quick so I pulled the trigger on it. Worst case scenario my buddy is a dealer and we can add a toob or something I guess. Thats a bummer they took the archives down. I did save a bunch of them to my shop pc though. Does anyone know if the thunder series was lighter and if so by what process?

I've read that the thunder series was a different layup than the standard Scarab. You've been in a few now, have you noticed any difference in how they look inside?

you weighed your 38 scarab, and it weighted 14200, just boat?? or boat and trailer??
big ranges 9100 to 14200...
I have been told that boats are always heavier than what is stated in brochures.

I have a 98 Scarab 38 AVS. Aluminum trailer. Aluminum wheels. Disk brakes. I got 13,900 lbs on the trailer with only the center tank full of fuel. I still havent gone back to weigh just the trailer.

I have a 1990 38 scarab excel , I have it on a 12000# boatfloater lift at loto lifts the boat with no problem. I have original scarab brochure boat weighs 9100 lbs dry.

hello, yes i have read same info that dry weigh is 9100, guy that did all my glass work and raced some years , said the boat was more like 11-12,0000.
he said his 32 race boat in race trim weighed 9000.
guess it really doesnt matter

happy holidays to all!!!!!!!!!!!!!
