Specifications
The 1982 Wellcraft Scarab is an 11-meter-long offshore powerboat, built by the renowned American shipyard Wellcraft and designed under the iconic Scarab line. Thanks to its deep V-hull, the boat performs excellently on open water, providing a stable and comfortable ride at higher speeds. This Scarab is internationally registered via the ICP (International Certificate for Pleasure Craft) and ready for new adventures.
Dimensions and Construction
With a length of 11 meters, a width of 2.50 meters, and a draft of 1 meter, the boat offers a generous base for sporty sailing. The interior headroom is 1.70 meters. The hull underwent a complete refit between 2015 and 2018. During this thorough renovation, the old wood was replaced with marine plywood, and the interior was redesigned with new backrests, benches, and an adapted engine compartment.
Engine and Performance
The boat is powered by two powerful Mercruiser 377 MAG DTS gasoline engines, each delivering 320 hp. These engines were installed in 2016, along with new Bravo One drives, propellers, transoms, and electronic controls. Both engines have approximately 280 operating hours each. The cruising speed is around 29 km/h, while the top speed is about 46 km/h. At a speed of 26 knots, the fuel consumption is approximately 40 liters per engine per hour. The fuel tank has a generous capacity of 750 liters, allowing for longer trips without the need for constant refueling.
Electronics and Navigation
In terms of navigation and electronics, the Scarab is up-to-date. Onboard is a Simrad 12” integrated chart plotter from 2023, complemented by a depth sounder, fishfinder, log/speedometer, VHF radio, wind meter, and a Lowrance 8 display. The electrical installation includes an alternator, battery charger, inverter, shore power connection, and a voltmeter. There are four batteries with a total capacity of 540 Ah, divided between service and starter batteries. The onboard voltage is available in 12V, 110V, and 220V, offering flexibility in different situations.
Interior and Comfort
The interior is designed with comfort in mind. The boat offers sleeping space for four people (2+2) with an additional berth. Furthermore, there is an electric Jabsco toilet installed in 2018, a shower, a Webasto refrigerator, and a two-burner gel fuel stove. The water tank has a capacity of 100 liters. LED lighting and a 22” television enhance living comfort. In 2024, the dashboard, interior walls, and cockpit were repainted, giving the whole a fresh appearance.
Exterior Equipment
Outside, the Scarab offers a well-equipped cockpit with a bimini, cockpit tent, tarpaulins, outdoor shower, cockpit table, outdoor cushions, sprayhood, swim ladder, and a swim platform. The boat also features an electric anchor winch with a Delta anchor and 50 meters of calibrated chain. There is also a liferaft for eight people, valid until 2025, as well as a lifebuoy and a self-draining cockpit. The cockpit is equipped with atmospheric LED lighting and underwater lighting.
Technical Upgrades and Maintenance
Between 2015 and 2024, the boat has been continuously improved, both technically and cosmetically. In 2016, the new engines and drives were installed, followed by LED lighting, batteries, bilge pumps, and a 360° light mast in 2017. In 2018, an electric toilet was installed, and the boat received new portholes and a modified table. In 2021, a Simrad touchscreen plotter and a 3500W inverter were added, and in 2022, €4,500 worth of electronic upgrades were carried out, including a Simarine battery monitor and new wiring. In 2023, major engine maintenance was performed, and the hull was repainted, and in 2024, the dashboard and cockpit were repainted, and further engine maintenance took place. All these works are documented and carried out by recognized specialists, including Mercruiser dealers.
Other Features
The boat weighs approximately 6,500 kg and features external steering with a single rudder. An electric bilge pump is present. The RINA certification is valid until 2030, and the booklet was renewed during the engine swap, issued by the harbor office of Manfredonia.
Usage and Sailing Area
The Wellcraft Scarab is primarily used for day trips at sea. Thanks to its deep V-hull and powerful engines, it is ideal for sporty sailing on open water. This classically lined offshore powerboat has been equipped with numerous modern upgrades over the years, making it not only a feast for the eyes but also offering comfort and reliability for enthusiasts of speed and style at sea.
