I'm very interested in moving up to a 28 Excel Scarab in addition to my 21. Does anyone know of any 28 Excel's for sale? I'd really like one that is pretty turn key with only a little cosmetic work needed.

The big thing I'm looking for is one with an arch. Any leads would be great. Post pics if you have them.

BTW, I know that there's one in the classifieds but the all red interior is just to red for me.

Thanks in advance.

the 28 is awsome... i know of one down here in venezuela that was 100% re-finished and its too good to be true

Called today. Boat is sold

Why don´t you search for one with MV colours...they were built you know...

I'll probaby do the paint like my MV Scarab now although I haven't quite thought about it.

Right now I'm just looking for any excel in good shape. Just went and looked at one today but it had a rotted bulkhead and rotted transom. Prob bad stringers too as well as bad floor in the cuddy. Just too much work to get in to.

Most Scarab over 15yrs old are that way.... poor build quality by Wellcraft, simple as that.
Larry smith Scarab are a whole different ballgame...like comparing a Bayliner (just what Scarabs are in the powerboat department, massproduced boats ) to an Apache.
Painting one to MV colours would be a replica.
