Thanks again I appreciate it.. Also I have a 84 Scarab III 340.. I might just convert it to diesel. Do they make 1:1 TRS drive. I have twin 468 ( 525hp ea) now but the TRS is a 1.5... As far as I know they only made a 1.5 and 1.34 radio

why is it that you want a diesel boat? What are you going to do with it?
There are a lot of threads on here about diesels --do a search and many will surface...
I'm not against it -- I actually am looking to do it -- but don't think that you will save money by doing it. the cheapest money is to keep the 468's running and enjoy pouring gas in. To do a diesel properly will be expensive unless you only want to run 50 mph and cross your fingers on the drives...

[ATTACH=CONFIG]549455[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]549456[/ATTACH]I built 2 diesel Larry Smith Scarab hulls 1 48 with 6.7 cummins and 1 43 with 8.3 cummins . The 48 is a pleasure boat and it runs about 82 mph . The 43 was a military project and the boat is very heavy it runs about 74 mph. Both boats run the Tri Max drive system with rudders
