    Tell me about the Wellcraft Scarab 22'

    Re: Tell me about the Wellcraft Scarab 22' The interior does worry me a bit. In fact, good thing you mentioned cause I looked again. I did worry me the first time since there was only one picture of it and it looked iffy and rebuilt-ish. I don't really mind as long as it's in good, usable shape...
