Bought this '00 Scarab Sport in August, and used it until it was too cold. Then it was minor upgrade time.

After:

Some changes aren't real noticeable, so here is the list:
10" Garmin chartplotter
Garmin sounder
New VHF & AM/FM ant
Tilt helm
Steering cylinder
re-finished lower part of motors
TFXtreme 33C cables
Livorsi Throttles
Blue bezels, cup holders, wheel, trim tab plate
GPS Speedo
Pioneer stereo w/ remote
JL MHD600/4 & MHD750 amps
3 JL 10" woofers
JL component speakers
different boot stripe
New lower and tinted windshield
Cleaned it up proper like
Cleaned up messy wiring

The best part - I found lots of these items for cheap on the net. Most were brand new sealed parts that the buyer never used. I didn't spend more than $2K!

Looks great. Anything else planned?

Great job as usual. Remember you wanted a simple/easy boat you didn't have to sweat over all the time........what happened? :)

BillR 04-18-2011 08:06 AM

Didn't sweat over it. This was fun stuff, and it beats sitting on couch watching TV. I wanted to get away from the maintenance, washing/waxing, fear of damaging paint, HAVING to fix engines, HAVING to repair this or that.

I got the CC where I want it, and now it is time to use it and have fun.

Looks good. I'm with you on cutting back on maintenance!

Looks good Bill - I do wish sometimes that I had a more everyday boat.

HAHA - that's my exact point. I can hit a golfball to where we anchor out, yet I have to deal with the CIG every weekend!!

4 hours of prep/clean up for a 30 second ride!
