SCARAB NINJA Special
 

I Just purchased a 1988 Scarab "Ninja SPecial" 34 foot

This boat looks brand new....Everything is perfect.

Twin 502's that have 200 Hours on them and run perfect.

Can anyone tell me anything about this edition of the SCARAB.

Where can I get info.
I have been told that there were only 16 of this edition made.

Thanks for help.

Why don't you post a pic or two, we want to see your new ride. :D

BTW, welcome to OSO and congrats to your boat. :)

From what little I know, I think it is a flat deck version of the scarab III. I am constantly checking Boatrader.com for scarabs for sale and I have seen about three for sale in two years. There was one for sale on Ebay about 3 weeks ago. If I remember correctly it sold for around $35,000

I have the same boat!
I guess that account for 2 of them.
From what I know, heard, this was a limited run, but not too sure how limited. I gather there was some "copy right" infringement with the name "NINJA', Kawasaki comes to mind.
Anyway, they continued on with the hull, but dropped the NINJA for RAIDER.
I have seen them with OB's too.
It has Kevlar in the hull layup to lighten things up.
it is a pretty fast hull for its day.
For me, I have owned mine since 92.
I love the ride in the rough water.
It is a beast.
Due to transom problem, damn, I went through a major overhaul and update of the boat back in 98.
You'd never recognize it today.
Good luck and happy boating.

Hi, I'm new here too. when at wellcraft site I saw in the resource section a kind of car type window sticker for the boats that were produced and the options that could of come with them. I did see your boat there when I looked for mine. I thought your boat was interesting and unique. There wasn't much history but specs none the less. I dont know if you saw my post 'new to oso' I posted some pics there, its a limited edtion also, 1988 nova spyder topgun edition, which I was told there was 11 made. Post some pics of your boat! Oh ,anyone know anymore about my boat?

hey, there is one of those across the river from me here in Toledo. i always wondered about the name ninja of the side boat. i didnt know it was a factory edition. really good looking boat. the flat deck looks good on that. havent seen it yet this year but i will see if i can get some pics. this one is a VERY nice original.


i'm guess'n that accounts for 3 now :D

Hi everyone,i'm new here at oso .I found this topic and wanted to write that i have also a 1988 Wellcraft Scarab Ninja 34 Foot here in Finland.I've just purchased the boat but i'm very pleased :D Engines are twin 454 Magnum with a bit more power than standard.The color is white with red/black stripes... So now you can count one more to the Ninjas ;)

I must be no.4 I posted more pics in this forum under info on a scarab3 (1st page). Wellcraft sent me all the info they had on this model. The guy told me he thaught 62 of them were made. I do have a copy of the spec sheet I'll try to post a pic of it.
