Scarab Viper 31 Larry Smith Flatdeck for sale

This is a very exclusive boat for those who seek something special:

This powerboat has received a complete total refit that took over 3 years.
A truly beautiful one-off in as-new condition: a ONE-OFF!!!

Fewer than 50 Scarab Viper 31 Flatdecks were designed and built by Larry Smith, a designer of offshore boats.

This Scarab Viper 31 Flatdeck, built in 1990, has been in family ownership ever since and was used exclusively on Lake Michigan (USA), in fresh water only.
I bought it myself in 2021 directly in the USA and shipped it to Germany.
The total restoration, a complete rebuild lasting 3 years, was completed in 2024.

Everything was reworked or replaced, from the bow to the propeller... Virtually everything is new!

The complete refit has been extensively documented and is very easy to follow through hundreds of photos.

To make the boat trailerable on German roads, unnecessary weight was replaced with lighter construction materials during the rebuild.

Here is a short excerpt of the work carried out:
• Everything down to the hull was dismantled and rebuilt
• Both engines underwent a complete overhaul (incl. bearings and seals)
