43 Scarab .......pics and info?
 

I'mmmmmmm back!


Looking for Pics, specs, and all info for a 43' Wellcraft Scarab 1999-2002 build years....DJ Special or Thunders and AVS 43'.

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.....!!!!

Have a couple of Larry Smith 43s flat deck straight bottom hulls and one complete rigged with triple number 6s and 702 ci blower motors. Call if you have any questions Regards Dan

Wow...thats close by! I think the grey one was sold last year and had "La Porte Tx" on the Transom....he circled me once at Redfish but didn't stop and chat...too bad I wanted to look at that boat a little more closely. Started to think a 2002 AVS Scarab or Cigarette 38 TG might keep me happy but I am going to pursue a 43 anyway and see what I come up with....

Wow....the Larry Smith's have any real cabin down below or are they Poker Run boats?

2 of them have no cabin Poker run & race boat . 1 was built to have a cabin its a bare hull never been rigged

Any 38 AVS in your inventory.....2000 or later?

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

Welcome back- Hows the Fino holding up? Still have ours. redid dash, new Genni and all new interior in the cabin.
Turned out nice.

Post up a pic of the new Fino dash. Looking at doing one this year. Great boat!

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.
 

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.
