1992 Wellcraft 38 Scarab Thunder

Twin Mercury HP 465s | Approx. 750 Hours | Kevlar-Reinforced Hull | Trailer Included

This 1992 Wellcraft 38 Scarab Thunder is a true old-school offshore performance boat that combines unmistakable Scarab styling, serious V8 power, Kevlar-reinforced hull construction, and a race-inspired deep-V design in a package that still commands attention more than three decades later.

Powered by twin Mercury HP 465 engines with approximately 750 hours, this Scarab was built for the buyer who wants the sound, feel, and performance of a classic big-block offshore boat. A trailer is also included, adding significant value and making transportation, service, storage, and winter layup considerably more convenient.

At nearly 38 feet long with a wide stance and aggressive profile, the 38 Scarab Thunder has the presence you'd expect from one of Wellcraft's iconic performance models. The long foredeck, low-profile windshield, performance cockpit, and unmistakable Scarab lines give this boat a look that simply doesn't blend in at the marina.

TWIN MERCURY HP 465 POWER

The heart of this Scarab is its twin Mercury HP 465 engine package.

With approximately 750 hours, the twin-engine setup delivers the kind of power and unmistakable V8 character that made large offshore performance boats of this era so desirable.

This isn't a typical family runabout. The Scarab was designed around performance, with a hull intended to provide stability and confidence as speeds increase and conditions get bigger.

Twin engines also provide the additional control and maneuverability that are particularly useful on a performance boat approaching 38 feet in length.

KEVLAR-REINFORCED SCARAB HULL

One of the standout features of this Scarab is its Kevlar-reinforced hull construction.

Combined with Scarab's legendary deep-V offshore design, the Kevlar reinforcement provides additional strength and rigidity while keeping performance at the forefront of the boat's design.

The hull measures approximately 37'10" with a 24-degree transom deadrise, giving the boat the aggressive deep-V profile associated with serious offshore performance boats.

The combination of substantial size, approximately 9,100-pound dry weight, Kevlar reinforcement, deep-V design, and twin-engine power gives the 38 Scarab Thunder a completely different feel from smaller performance boats.

This is a boat designed to stretch its legs on open water.

PERFORMANCE COCKPIT

The cockpit keeps the driver and passengers right in the center of the experience.

A performance-oriented helm puts the instrumentation and controls directly in front of the driver, while the cockpit layout provides seating for passengers without taking away from the boat's purpose-built character.

The long deck and low windshield provide the unmistakable offshore profile Scarab owners love.

Whether you're cruising across the lake, heading to a waterfront destination, or simply pulling into the marina, this is a boat that gets noticed.

CABIN

Despite its performance focus, the 38 Scarab Thunder still provides useful accommodations below deck.

The cabin gives passengers a place to get out of the sun, relax between runs, or spend additional time aboard. The layout provides lounge-style seating and sleeping accommodations along with a private head area.

That makes the Scarab more versatile than a bare-bones performance boat. You still get the aggressive offshore experience while having usable cabin space when spending an entire day or weekend on the water.

TRAILER INCLUDED

A major advantage of this package is the included trailer.

Finding an appropriate trailer for a performance boat approaching 38 feet can be both difficult and expensive, so having one included adds considerable value to the package.

The trailer also gives the next owner additional flexibility when it comes to transportation, service, storage, launching, and winter layup rather than being completely dependent on a marina or transport company.
