Mark,
I agree with everything that you said, Except mine is a 2000 and there is no wood that I can find and I have taken **** apart and crawled everywhere. Mine also says 28PF on the dash and 30 on the side so I think they made the changes in 2000.
I agree on the cabin space, if OP saw the 30' cabin and thinks he can sleep in it he is either A. Drunker than me B. Younger than me or C. Smaller than me (I'm 5'10"), I wanted a cabin for my 2 yr old to crash in, and store stuff, that's it.

they are 22p bravo 1s but if i were going to purchase a new set I would go with the hydromotive intimidator quad IV in a 23p to get a bit more transom lift

Interesting. I never tried the QIV because my boat didn't like the extra stern lift the Rev 4's gave it.

The Scarab 302 is a great riding boat - that is saying something after coming out of a Top Gun. I personally don't know of any issues with these boats, but heard the same thing about soft spots in deck. Usually caused by someone drilling and not sealing their hole.
The cabin in these boats are a bit larger and two 6' people could sleep in there easily - plus the head room is more generous.
Mine runs almost 63 with 2 Evinrude 225 Fichts. My motors have been pretty darn problem free and they do sip the fuel.
The build of the boat seems to be pretty solid - I have been thru mine stem to stern. However, the Scarab 302 was made only to 2000 before Larry Smith didn't allow Wellcraft to re-up the contract between them. In 2000, wellcraft made LOTS of improvements to the boat - I guess they anticipated re-newing their Scarab agreement.
The lines of the boat are nice, but IMHO they need some graphics and color to make them look better.
The grey boat pic shows what I "think" i'd like to do graphics wise.

If you buy a boat with an aluminum bracket it will corrode in salt water. Also all the mounting holes better be sealed up tight because it can be a source of transom rot from water intrusion.

Now for a carb motor or regular EFI, you can mix. DFI- no!

Dash looks great, do you like the 3 spoke wheel better than the fitted grips? I am getting ready to replace mine and go back and forth between the two.
Also, I ready to buy new props if you happen to stumble across any let me know, Bravo 22P.
