So mine is a 1994 Scarab 22 with a MAG 350 / Alpha 1 gen 2 drive with a Mirage 21 3-blade prop. The previous owner had the engine rebuilt and added a marine grind Erson roller camshaft, Edelbrock marine RPM intake, AFB 750 cfm carburetor, and IMCO powerflow exhaust, thru-hull. It was super loud and my wife thought it was obnoxious idling thru the no-wake zone by our house so I bought 4" elbows and a strauight piece of 304SS and made turn-downs to put the tips under the water at idle. I've been chasing a few issues with the boat since I recently bought it so the fastest we've had it was 53mph @ 4,000rpm and it felt like it wanted to keep going. I still not 100% that I have the timing right so I haven't pushed it to the limit yet. I think the engine made 250-260HP stock so maybe it makes 300HP with the mods? The PO said it needs a bigger prop so I may try a Mirage Plus 23 and see how it does. If I can get it to run 50MPH at 3,500rpm I'd be very happy. We ride on the St. Mary's River 99% of the time and that's plenty fast for me. I looked at another identical make and year when I bought this one and it was pretty beat down but it had a 7.4 / Bravo combo and the guy said his would run 70MPH but he said it handled very sketchy over 65 and I'll take his word. I haven't had it in the ocean yet but it rides really nice. I guess you could sleep two people under the front if you needed to but it would be tight. I've only seen them from 1994 thru 2005 but they may have made them earlier. I've been a Ski Nautique guy forever so this is my first Scarab. I really wanted something we could cruise ~20 miles down the river in to eat or hit a sand bar over at the ocean (by Fernandina) and I think it will be good for that.
