Scarab 38KV

Scarab 38 Pokerrun

[@wizardpoop]

That is the best sounding boat i have ever heard...

[@danieldeaseweitzelwalker]

I personally love the Scarab boats by Wellcraft. Forget specific roles - if you want any boat in any class they build, Scarab is awesome. It's the only boat I'd ever want to buy.

Awsome boat and awsome video coverage. Makes me feel like I am right there!

[@refwoody]

Sweet !!! Listen to that engine "singing" at 1:22 Love it

[@3more2go]

I have watched this video many times. Totally awsome and puts me right there!

[@TaylorMarine]

when you flew past that baja i got chills.

[@sp1r17Lov3]

awsome video!! i keep replaying it since ages :D hah ^^

[@mellentine]

Those are Mercury #6 drives, which are a cleaver style prop. On plane, anywhere from a 1/5th to a 1/3rd of the prop is out of the water. They are considered "surface piercing" props.

@Goodshaft Dont EVER! talk down to the classics

[@Ehnebom]

This scarab is from Stockholm - Sweden. 2 x 598 cui with 748hp each Over 70 knots - 80 mph

[@aslo4812]

You should name her Gas Suka..Sure sounds sweet for an older boat..

[@SimpleSpeedShop]

HOLY MUTHAFUCKIN SHIT!! THAT ROOSTER TAIL IS BADASS!!

[@CPG4444Chopper]

Unreal, like a formula 1 car on water. I have a 21ft Wellcraft with a 5.0ltr but nothing in this league. One day maybe. Love your 38kv, keep it flat out.

[@Seannie686]

HELL YEAH

[@chersch5]

Scarab sounds healthy boys, good job.

[@Lynchfan88]

Hard to tell what this dude has under the hatches, chances are it's not the power added when built in '86 or '87. Back then, the standard motors from Mercruiser for the Scarab KV were around 400 HP, and that's being generous. Likely been repowered and now maybe even staggered. Once he got on plane that rooster tail loomed up, and I think the drives are surface piercing which generally accounts for that. Again, I'm speculating.

[@bobbymac4751]

this is so cool

[@ddchristian4092]

"Kicken ride!!! Catalina Island to LA?? That's the way to go!!! 2,000 HP at your fingertips!! Throttle down!!;)

[@mellentine]

No problem with the overall geometry of a #6 drive's prop location in relation to the rear pad, compared with the old geometry? Did you have to play around with various extension boxes, or did you just re-do the entire transom then mount the drives?

[@bearsarebig]

is scarab the boat company and if so are they still around? cuz when you search for them on google nothing comes up. really cool looking power boat

[@3more2go]

That was called cavitation. OUtdrives too high. It stopped when he lowered the outdrives

[@mellentine]

What drives are on that boat? Did some of the KV's come with Speedmasters?

[@hol434]

@Goodshaft Mr. Good shaft, there are many boat companies that run 120 PLUS. Today is the Tickfaw 200 and there will be many boats there in the 160 mph range. I dont know what youre trying to prove here or if you even know what youre talking about?? Given a powerful enough set of engines and the outdrives to handle them, this well craft that youre picking on can be made to run 120 as well.

[@fountainracing]

git r done- that is a cool sounding boat-- but my little cigarette would eat this thing up- kidding--

[@JohnnyGiuffre]

whats the top speed on this boat? im guessing between mid 70s to low 80s?

[@Busdude97]

This probably sounds silly, but are you running diesels on that?

[@ridered7262]

Busdude97 Gasoline, not sure but might be big blocks. Sweet V8 sound.

[@davechristian4169]

Triple 454s or Dual Lambo" V 12s, when you pull up at the dock with this head turner, the chicks will be fighting to jump on board" Filler UP!!!

[@illtakeuaway18]

is it twin 454s?

[@PeterMurphy1]

how would she handle heavy seas off kerry coast Ireland ?

[@filipvelander4930]

thats my dads boat

[@ericvonp]

go don!

[@camaro88iroc]

u in a poker run or sumthin?

[@ABVNRML2U]

WOW!! I just fell off my Chair..

[@ViperSRTnACR]

Nice vid, on some of the "bif boy" poker runs if you're not brining 110+ mph then forget about it.

[@Benzomat74]

Da möchte ich nicht mit Wasserschi´s dranhängen ;)

[@StingerFredde]

2x598cui

[@jeepercreeper81]

........................porcavacca!

[@ddchristian4092]

All Brunetts in bikinis ride for free, everone else, take the Metro!!! ;) Sorry!!! ;) Buckle it up!!!

[@TheBoterham]

omg this is so fair from the realitie:P not normol.. 5/5

[@Goodshaft]

That Boat is slow compae to a outerlimits hull. Outerlimits will go over 120MPH with triple motors. This Scarab is a out dated boat, and over priced as well !!

[@ericvonp]

wonder they stopped making scarab...cauze all those fountains, donzi's, mti's and nor-tech put then to shame. I have a bow rider that could take this boat!

[@Goodshaft]

This boat ate fast, my bass boat will beet this !!! This boat is lame !!!!
