1989 Scarab Sprint 26

Postby ScarabTV » Tue Sep 13, 2016 1:37 pm

Hello Wellcraft world! Recently had this boat repowered and I'm looking for information on the hull and how I should go about restoration of deck and possibly stringers...
1) Any owner manuals out there?
2) I have 2 small soft spots, should I cut out and just take care of those or is this boat known to rot the stringers?
3) How much life should I get out of the Hull?
4) Anybody else have one similar?
5) 2016 Suzuki 300 4stroke ... In between props and boat is stern heavy, going to a 4 blade but don't want to sacrifice to much speed, Rev 4? Currently getting 55MPH @WOT 6025 RPMS w 1/3 of a tank 4 ppl on board with a Suzuki SS 3/16/20... trying a Suzuki 4/15/20 and moving motor up one hole next week.

Any info provided is much appreciated ! Thanks !

If the transoms bad I bet the stringers are too. Good luck with the project.

Thanks for the reply. See that's the thing... The transom is solid... Just a 2 soft spots on the deck near the console and bow
