As a kid, Scarab/Wellcraft was my introduction to offshore performance boats. We had a local dealer (Brenner Marine) that usually had a scarab or Nova in stock. I climbed all over them while Dad was dropping off his boat for service.
I loved the ~84 Kaama Scarab.
It had factory race hatches.
My Dad told me it was a useless boat because it wasn't "functional" without a sunpad...
There were a few big Scarabs that roamed the local waters.
I recall one named "Thumper" (big letters down the hullsides).
Last I saw it, it was in the boat graveyard.
I almost bought the 34' Scarab that Glassdave has now, but timing wasn't right.
I like that 377!
