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.

- Both engines recently re-built to a high standard
