uhh uhh ohh, that man could supe up about anything

I've seen a few Wellcraft Excaliber SCS boats listed, I am not interested, but wondered If they are a cousin to the Scarab SCS. I know Wellcraft makes Scarab. The deck and rigging are completely different, i.e. right hand drive. The hull, however, looks very similar. Anyone know anything about these? Same hull mold?

I can't help but think this could be the same boat. Was your boat stock?
It has stock prop and the 26p 4 blade. Small world. The aluminum trailor is a nice feature. I love the boat but am concearned w/ the sellers description. If you were the third owner then I would be the sixth, not the second/third as the dealer would like me to believe. The boat is beautiful, It looks like it just rolled out of the factory.

yes motor was stock,the dealer took that boat in on consignment or just took it in on a trade ,if you look at the stock#it has the name solik,thats the guys name i sold it to,have you seen it in person ?

Yes briefly, I think the guy realized I know more about the boat then he does. I am going to schedule a test drive soon. The salesman claims he bought the boat from the dealership(it is in his garage, not the showroom), but it is still for sale. Kinda fishy. I am trying to decide how to play my hand. I have a strong down payment, but the boat is not in NADA, so I may see if he'll swap out the trailor or something so I don't have to bring as much capitol to the table. The boat is beautiful, but his story isn't jiving. I will buy it one way or another. How many hours did you put on the boat.

around 20 or so,im the guy who buys something and has to make it perfect,and when im done doing that,im bored and move on to the next toy,im sick like that !i wish i could keep something ,but when im done,im the guy that i want to buy from,i wish somebody would pay me to restore something maybe then i could make some money ,i lost 10k. on that boat,but thats ok because thats what i do for fun !

I appreciate all of your help and I will keep you posted. If you dig up any more info let me know. If I do get the boat I'll gladly bring it down to FL for a reunion, and of course anytime you are in Nashville you'll have a boat to to go out on.

If you have any pictures or hull #'s etc. email me at [email protected]

Great Pictures! I am going to find out if the boat is on consignment. If it is I will try to contact the owner directly. Either way I will listen to the 1 owner story again with a folder under my arm, and when I open the engine hatch, I will pull out the pics and compare the #s. We'll see if I get a little leverage that way. The salesman is fixated on the $7K trailor so maybe I'll offer 7K less and drive it home down the Cumberland, dry store it at Old Hickory, then buy a local trailor from a desperate dealer.
