Description
1988 Wellcraft Scarab 38KV
Blue Lagoon Marine are excited to bring this legendary Scarab 38KV to the market.
If there is a boat that defines the golden era of offshore performance, this is it. This Wellcraft Scarab 38KV is an unmistakable icon of late-’80s powerboating—aggressive lines, legendary Scarab pedigree and an incredible amount of performance.
Designed on the proven 38KV deep-V hull, this Scarab delivers the ride and stability that made the model a favorite at poker runs and offshore events. The narrow 8-foot beam, sharp entry, and stepped hull combine classic style with serious performance, whether cruising at speed or turning heads at the dock.
This Scarab isn’t just a boat—it’s a statement. From its long, low profile to its offshore racing heritage, the 38KV remains one of the most recognisable and collectible performance boats ever built.
She has some great features onboard including:
- Both engines recently re-built to a high standard
- Hull recently re-sprayed
-Tonneau cover included
- Pontoon boat lift included
- Trailer included
