Specifications
The Wellcraft Scarab 30 is a classic offshore powerboat with a rich history and impressive performance. Originally built in Miami in 1979 and imported to the Netherlands in 2000, this model is an icon in the world of sport boats. With a length of 9 meters and a width of 2.4 meters, this boat offers a combination of speed, agility, and a recognizable design. The hull is made of polyester and features a V-bottom for optimal stability at high speeds.
Engine and Performance
This Scarab 30 is equipped with two powerful Mercruiser 330 Chevy big block engines from 1995, each with a power output of 400 hp. This results in a combined power of 800 hp, allowing the boat to reach speeds of up to 100 km/h. The cruising speed is around 40 km/h, ideal for comfortable sailing on open water. The engines are electrically started and equipped with Holley 800 carburetors and TRS offshore outdrives. For precise performance monitoring, there are various instruments on board, including a fuel tank gauge, oil pressure gauge, temperature gauge, and tachometer. The electrical systems include an alternator and voltmeter, with a voltage of 12V and 220V. Navigation is supported by a depth gauge, fishfinder, GPS, and a compass. For anchoring, there is a manual anchor winch with an anchor attached to a combination of chain and line. The boat is equipped with an electric bilge pump.
Interior and Comfort
Inside, the Scarab 30 offers a headroom of 150 cm and sleeping space for two people. There is a refrigerator that operates on 220V, as well as a faucet with a water reservoir. The interior features dimmable LED lighting and chrome ventilation grilles.
Exterior and Extras
The exterior includes a bimini top and outdoor deck sails, while there are also outdoor cushions and a swim platform with a swim ladder. For musical enjoyment on the water, the boat is equipped with a Bluetooth radio and four Roswell speakers with lighting and remote control.
Maintenance and History
The boat underwent maintenance in 2023 and received a new antifouling treatment. In 2021, various parts were replaced, including the starters, batteries, battery switches, fuel filters, fuel pumps, spark plugs, distributor caps, impellers, and various oil components. The cleaver-type propellers were also replaced, and two refurbished carburetors were installed. The maintenance history is fully documented and available.
Trailer and Transport
This Wellcraft Scarab 30 comes with a road trailer without a license plate. The trailer has three axles and a trailer winch and is in reasonable condition.
Usage and Sailing Experience
This boat has been used on lakes and rivers and is ideal for speed and water sports enthusiasts. Thanks to its powerful engine capacity and offshore specifications, this Scarab offers a unique sailing experience. The boat attracts attention on the water and is suitable for sporty sailing and day trips.
In short, the Wellcraft Scarab 30 is a classic and powerful powerboat with a rich history. Thanks to the dual V8 engines, thoughtful equipment, and various modern additions, this boat is suitable for speed and offshore sailing enthusiasts.
