Never ran in a Scarab, but I did the Hokey Pokey in one:biggrinjester:

What is it a 31 xcel?
That was late 80's-early 90's if not mistaken.
What motors/drives?

I've got a friend with one '90 I think. He has no complaints. I'd be happy with it. runs about 80 635hp 454s

A friend had a '90 I think it was. Nice boat. Had a left side slide cabin door. Decent head room average size head. The hand rail around the windshield was nice and comfortable to hold. It was kind of heavy, but rode nice in the Chesapeake. It had IMCO shorties and blower motors ran low 90's. Fun, solid boat.

have any scarab well surveyed, good boats but anything by wellcraft is susceptable to wetness.

yep.....but I could really use the bigger cabin in the Scarab......the seperate head namely.....allows you to overnight in a bay (like Big Chief!) and not always have to run back to a Marina......could still tow it with my truck too

Went for a big water run in a 31 in 93 Doug. Had to hold the windshield in our laps to come bact to port. Didn't inmpress me very much with build quality.

I've owned mine for 3 years and love it. Looking to sell however..

Nice, clean boat.

The older ones had the heavy hand rail around the windshield. Otherwise looks very much the same.

I spent a lot of time running my buddies. I liked it.

She's been great. Just looking to get into a bigger boat.
