Wellcraft
30 Scarab Sport
2008–10
Although the 30 Scarab Sport may appear to be a conventional center console from a distance, a closer look reveals that Wellcraft designers moved the console to starboard, making room for a small open-air galley to port with single-burner stove, freshwater sink, and optional refrigerator. Forward of the galley and console is a lounge area with cushioned settees running fore and aft on both sides. All the way forward is the cuddy cabin with a V-berth and filler cushion. A walk-in head compartment with electric toilet, sink, and shower is under the console. The large dash flat has room for video displays and fish finders, etc., and the standard helm seat converts to a leaning post. The cockpit of the Scarab Sport features two 30-gallon in-deck fish boxes (macerated), transom rigging station with a freshwater sink, raw-water washdown, bin storage, and a foldaway bench seat. Dry stowage is forward, both in-deck and under the lounges. A transom door to starboard offers access to the swim platform and outboards. The Scarab’s powder-coated arch (also standard) includes a Bimini and rod holders. Yamaha 250hp outboards top out at nearly 45 knots.
