I hope Your project is coming along. Remember this. . .like a classic car, the price is set by the value YOU choose. There is an *** for every seat. . .I think Confusious said that.

Re: HUGE PROJECT!! 30' Scarab Sport overhual

I just checked into the financials of this again. I believe you ended up coming in less than $20k into this project correct? It looks like it would cost over $100k (wow) to buy a new 30' Scarab Sport. It looks like it would cost well over $20k for a semi-decent older used one. You have ended up with a boat you know is solid all the way through, rigged correctly, and you have 2 outboards that have been thoroughly gone over. I think you did really well. And that boat it really going to turn heads.

Re: HUGE PROJECT!! 30' Scarab Sport overhual

What an awesome project!! Looks like you did a great job! Now you have one sharp looking boat, know exactly how it is built, and the pride of doing it all yourself!

Man am i jealous, I wish I had the money laying around to do something like that.

I hope you get to enjoy that boat for a long time!!!

Congrats on a job well done.

Hey, John...great job !! Wow, you gotta be excited. I just couldn't pass up sending you this. It is on the Tampa craigslist. Pretty interesting with the motors and claimed top speed. Thought you might want to see what an older, not rebuilt model is worth!! (Or at least what he is asking).

I think we may need to wait until October when he puts it away for the winter.

Re: HUGE PROJECT!! 30' Scarab Sport overhual

Ok?..
I know?

And I am WORKING ON IT

These short videos were not worth the wait at all. But I will take more and still try and post the first video of her going in the water and on the maiden voyage.
The first video is of us just crusing at 4000rmp at about 41 mph, my buddy Marcus is driven and that other kid Anthony didn?t contribute at all to the project but he still feels important on such a sweet boat.

This video I took of how the water comes off the hull and hits the lower units?.looks like we have no problems here! ( you can see the trim tabs I cut down) I almost dropped the camera at one point! In both videos we were not full throttle!

Re: HUGE PROJECT!! 30' Scarab Sport overhual

the second vid you need to trim the motors out a little. Just a little. So they are angled out. Thrust is fighting the tabs. I might be wrong though as its hard to gauge it from those vids. WOW!!!!!! good job
