wellcraft archives
 

Does Wellcraft still have the archive where you can get info/brochure stuff on older boats? I was trying to find out what my 94 38 Thunder weighs. Cant seem to find the page on their website . . . .

NADA guide boats gets you pretty close. I transport 3-4 boats a month and use them to estimate weight. Usually pretty accurate. They claim 9100lbs+-. for yours. W

cool, thanks. just picked up a 12K hydro hoist just wanted to make sure im in range :D


i think i heard the Thunder series was lighter. I actually kinda hope not, hell i went back to an old straight bottom resin bucket to have a good crusher for lake Erie :D

It looks like they took that part of their site down. I just went to a few links I had saved from there and now it gives me the 404 Error.

I may have that one in my files. I can take a look...

I weighted mine to make sure 3 weeks ago! 14200 !

The Wellcraft brochure for the 1991 38 Thunder lists 9100 lbs Dry weight.

The 1994 brochure has the same number

In the 2000 brochure they list the 38 AVS at 12,200 LBS dry and they were lighter than the old straight bottoms at least that's what they said. Everything that Wellcraft built was heavy.

Dave,
PM me your address if you would like the brochure. I dont like giving my boating files away but its the least I could do for all the help you given me...

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!!!!!!!!!!!!!
