Default 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.....!!!!

I think there was a 43 (grey/white/black/red) named “nobodies business” over in el lago that I used to see In the Late 90s - I though it was bad ass. The 43 is one of my favorite boats, never been lucky enough to ride in one tho.

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....

Sorry, no info from me but I did notice this a couple of weeks ago if it's still available....

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...
