2017 Wellcraft Scarab 262 Fisherman

Step aboard and you’ll notice how thoughtfully this 262 Fisherman is laid out for long days on the water. The wide, level decks and high gunwales give you confidence when working a fish around the bow, while the transom door and aft bench make it just as comfortable for a sunset cruise. The leaning post offers secure support when you open up the throttles, with handy tackle storage and a rigging station right where you need it. Generous in-deck fishboxes, a pressurized livewell, and ample rod storage keep the cockpit uncluttered. Up front, the wraparound seating with removable backrests turns the bow into a relaxed lounge when the rods are stowed.

The 2017 Wellcraft Scarab 262 Fisherman is particularly well suited to this area’s mix of nearshore structure and deeper bluewater runs. Its deep-V hull and substantial freeboard handle the afternoon chop with confidence, while the efficient hull form makes longer runs to offshore humps and reef lines practical on a regular basis. The wide beam and open bow layout give you room to work multiple anglers without feeling crowded, yet the boat is still manageable for a small crew. Family and friends will appreciate the forward seating, enclosed head, and secure walkways when you switch from chasing pelagics to enjoying a relaxed harbor cruise.
