It may have been, that is the rumor +100 but I really doubt it. I shut it down early because it handle poorly, may have been my lack of driving exp. over 70 mph, although it doesnt have hyd. steering yet! u

Post some pics, my buddy has a 1988 Scarab III with 420's and trs, runs slightly better than 60. I would think you would need a pair of 900HP motors to see 100 in that hull.
