Been in storage most of its life (whatever that really means). Could make a nice twin project or triples I feel you want bragging rights to the gas pump...

RR

.

that might be a boat that sold for song last year, like 20 something. Someone making a buck parting it out?

Ours has triple 500 efi's and I don't feel it is that hard on fuel.

Sold the Portofino bad in 2011, made a profit and bought a Carver 4207 Aft Cabin (better as a live aboard) sold that in 2014.
The owner of the Portofino redid the entire boat---its down in Corpus Christi Tx...

I like all I read about the 43 Thunder in Texas.

So I sold one coolest 38KV Vice boats around with upgraded modern 500EFI's. Miss the boat and boating so jumping back in with both feet so to speak.

I am looking at 38 Cig's (Topguns) and 43 Scarab's....might consider a AVS 38 SCARAB but anyway this is about the big papi 43' Scarab.

Anyone on here own one, had one, wrenched on one.......? I would think taking triples and maybe a re-powering with twin 1075' Mercs twins might be "fun" project to waste my hard earned cash on...or just burn the gas with triples. Always have been a lifelong Wellcraft fan with a family history and ownership going back to the early 80s.

Let er rip with the opinions and advice.....!!!!

I wonder what You think of the 1995 43 Thunder with triple 540 Bulldogs in Lake Lewisville, TX? I guess he's the 2nd owner and bought it in 2005 from Michigan. He dropped his asking price of $99k to $66k not too long ago. Very low hours on the boat, and supposedly always stored inside. Tough to eclipse the look of the 43 Thunder, and with the better layup and this boat having unusual factory luxury upgrades for a Thunder, it's pretty darn cool.
