1985 Wellcraft 34' _{(10.36 m)} Scarab 34

Vessel Walkthrough and Details

Enter by the aft cockpit, or, if in the water by swim platform between the engines. Aft end of cockpit is open. As you go forward there is seating port and starboard. Forward of that, under the hard top, there are port and starboard Braum helm chairs. There are windows wrapping from port side to front to starboard side. Installed to offshore usage with bolts/nuts to avoid any chance of them popping out in nasty weather.

Above the hardtop, we find antennas, the radar transmitter, outriggers and a short tower with bench seat. Current operator sits up there with his phone connected and runs her from there. The metal for the tower has been painted with Awlgrip to avoid the blistering found with powder coating. There is an opening hatch in the middle of the roof to provide airflow to the helm.

On centerline, all the way forward, is the entrance to below decks. The Seakeeper rests right under the first step. There are seats port and starboard going forward. Anchor locker is all the way forward.

Notes On The Hull:

Seller will be happy to explain in detail how this stock Scarab 34 became such an incredible custom offshore machine. Here’s a few hints…

Materials used…Nida-Core, Coosaboard and a poured liquid for transom.

Nida-Core decking was engineered so that it will keep the boat floating even when underwater.

Poured liquid delivered a 5” think transom that will not rot or give way to the 600 lb. engines.

Virtually all the stringers were replaced with Coosaboard and Glass.

The end result was a very strong hull that can take a lot of abuse without taking any damage. Strong and safe, the boat and her occupants come home in one piece.

Electrical:

• Custom 12 volt/110 panel
• Batteries: 2 AGMs for engines, 4 AGMs for Seakeeper, 2 AGMs for House
• Pro-Tournament 360 Elite Series Battery charger by Pro Mariner

Engine Details and Mechanical Equipment:

• Seakeeper serviced spring of 2023, 66 sea hours
• Two 2021 Verado AMS version outboards at 300hp with 966 Hours Port and 962 Hours Starboard
• Two SS 4-Blade props mounted, 1 spare set for high speed runs
• Seriously custom trim tabs, Lenco hydraulics
• Single lever controls
• Stainless steering wheel with adjustable tilt and “knob”
• Hydraulic steering with power assist

Broker's Comments

Whether you are a commercial operator who is risk adverse to “down time” or a recreational user who wants to get out there no matter the weather, this is the right tool for you.

Where else are you going to find an almost bullet proof hull with the right amount of power to provide you with fast, safe passages and comfortable Seakeeper balanced motion? This is truly a unique opportunity to own the hull that Contender copied and this Owner improved on.

Seakeeper was off the boat for service by dealer. It was just returned to boat and reinstalled in April.2024
