Opinions 1990's 26 Scarab

[The Business]

As anyone familiar with this model? I believe it has 225, but may need to be repowered? Are they worth looking into? Will E-10 cause a problem with the fuel tank? How much do you think it's worth? Thanks for the help!

If the 26 is anything similar to the 302/sport I can tell you that my 1981 has an aluminum tank, I think that Chris 1994 also has aluminum so you should not have problems with E10. (assuming that wellcraft used the same 150 gal tank for all those Scarabs).

I will recomend to check/change the hoses thoug to alcohol resistant.

If you are going to re-power I would defenitly go with something bigger like a 250

E,

So it's a pretty quality boat? What HP do think it's rated for?

I rigged dozens of these boats when they first came out. I replied to you (over there).

Anyway I believe they were rated at 300 hp. We did a test with cop radar (pre GPS) of two identical boats. One with two 150 hp mercs and one with a 275 Cosworth HP Merc. The single blew off the double no trouble. Her manners were better as well. Fun boat with a good ride.

PM emudryj or myself for details to recommend on what you should look for when surveying older Scarabs. They have their issues. He knows these boats quite well.
