"Obsession" 1987 Wellcraft 38 Scarab KV 1800 HP

[@larrydowling5213]

Scarabs have always been beautiful boats

[@MPNNag]

I had a 1989 red Scarab Panther New in 1989. Raced it in the Trumps War Off Shore in 1989 came in 5th Place in my class. Had the best time ever!

[@larrydowling5213]

@@MPNNag my dad had 1979 deep vee Excalibur named the Spoiler. He was big into cigarette boats. I use drive it and jump the waves behind boats while his buddies would be shitting their pants and my dad laughing his butt off. I was around 10 yrs old. They'd say "you think he should be driving like this?" He'd always tell them I could drive it as good as he could. 😂🤙

Stunning boat Miami vice era

[@kylemlm]

The late 80s , fantastic time with $ no object and quality materials. Motors are simple and easy work on. This is artwork on the water.

[@danandersson8091]

My grandfather was vice president of Wellcraft around this time. I had a small scale model of this boat when I was a kid

Absolutely beautiful... ❤

[@CEOkiller]

Makes me want to put on my pastel sport coat and Italian loafers and run a load of Bolivian Marching Powder into Miami, pal!

[@hblair37]

[@semajniffirg230]

Can't believe you guys beached that black boat. Must have scrstched the shit out of it.

[@TheBIGKNOC]

Yeap I can go watch an episode of Miami vice now this boat is very nice

[@andrewprice6194]

Was this boat previously drew marines?

[@Prototheria]

I wonder how much coke got snorted on that thing back in the day.

[@aledipo3238]

È bellissima anche così! Preferisco i colori di quella di Miami vice, ma qui abbiamo 1800 HP...🤯🤩😱

[@ericdishington428]

Wow and Wow

[@gumimalac]

A boat built for the adult film industry

[@dunkinheinzgruber757]

Spectacular Boat! For a newbie like me how fast is a boat like this?

[@fabrisart8843]

Top speed should be around 100 mph

[@maxoberg4642]

Nah around 80 mph ≈ 70 knots

[@hblair37]

900hp with the arnesons drives you’d think he’d be 90-93mph. It takes 1000 hp per motor to push these old scarabs just over 100mph.

[@drexelmathews7312]

​@@hblair37topped out at 87mph @ 2250ft elevation.

[@hblair37]

@@drexelmathews7312 That's very respectable. Naturally aspirated boat at that altitude.

[@ats-3693]

Wow that is beautiful, and that cabin setup down in front is amazing, do all the big powerboats have cabin setups of some type down inside like that?

[@rustyshackleford3649]

Most of them do

[@fredericforton3733]

Wonderful

[@TS-ig2es]

Nice drives ! 🤙🏴‍☠️

[@DubblG1]

🔥🔥🔥

[@jcmac7709]

Always wondered about that rooster tail these HP boat throw in the air at speed. Is it the trim, hull design or prop?

[@WhooptieDo]

It's the surface drives...

[@df2447]

Nice Scarab surface drives! What is the top speed? What engines??

[@paulster56]

@@df2447 well not SCARAB surface drives. They're Arneson. All the fastest boats used them. $$$

Nope. It sold 4 years ago. Believe it went to Florida

If this boat had a staggered engine set up it would have been the best Scarab ever.
