Looks like Wellcraft popped back up
« on: March 08, 2013, 05:46:00 AM »
I see on Boattest.com that they just released a new boat based on the old line - Wellcraft 35 Scarab Sport (2013-)

Quote
Fishermen like to go fast, but they also need plenty of room, so when Wellcraft modified their go-fast Scarab hull to build this Scarab Sport, they added more than a foot of beam. That allowed for a console wide enough to hold a head without crowding the gunwales. Finally, Wellcraft replaced the forward seats with a two-berth cuddy. The result is a serious fishing boat that's also comfortable enough for overnighting or long, long days on the water.

Key Features
•Wider beam provides more seating and cockpit space
•Rigging station at transom with sink
•The transom layout designed to allow access to mechanical equipment
•Full fiberglass liner with integrated storage
•Foam fiberglass encapsulated stringer system
•Amenities offer fishing excursions as well as extended family cruising
•Wider console - portside step-down entry includes self-contained head, sink and access to console rigging
 •Pull out battery sliders allow best accessibility for battery maintenance
•Composite transom
•Pressurized fresh and raw water system

Construction sounds like a late model Aquasport... So does the Euro transom.

Ummmmm....that was that last boat I was wiring before I left WC....in '00.  35, 32, and 29 Scarab Sports.  Replaced the venerable 302 Sport.  The bimini cuddy came out on the 35 around '02-'03.  Awesome boat without it, as there was a dance floor ahead of the console.  35 needs triples to really get going.

Where did this come from?  That hull is 14 years old now... :?  :?


Corner of 520 and A1A...

Apparently someone bought the name and molds and are at it again - too bad it's not back on Whitfield, the place is still a ghost town around it for blocks. I drive by it every day.  :(

This 2006 boat is at Garden State Marina in Point Pleasant NJ. My parents had there 50' liveaboard docked there for a year or two in the early 70's. I have been there many times.
