Re: 81 Scarab project from hell
Ok- here are some new photos- like I said we have been working on it but nothing goes easy. I am simply amazed at how no one seems to know anything about bigger boats around here, and everyone gives me a "you are insane" look when I am trying to do something. For an example, just fixing the trailer was a act of congress.

Re: 81 Scarab project from hell
more-
Tomorrow I am finally finishing the port engine. I have been waiting to pull the starboard one so I have something to look at to remember how things go. I am also sending the trailer out to be blasted and painted this week- and if the weather holds we will finish stripping the boat for paint also. I will get more pics tomorrow.
Thanks everyone for the support.

Re: 81 Scarab project from hell
Here are some pics of ours under the knife again. This is the boat that Scarab 30 was talking about. Sad thing is we just finished it 2 1/2 years ago to find rotted bulkheads and bad stringers. Oh well going in a whole new direction won't even be able to tell what kind it is when done.

Re: 81 Scarab project from hell
Straightjacket, do you have any close up pics of your windshield? I have a 79 model and have been wanting to get rid of the huge stock windshield.

Re: 81 Scarab project from hell
Don't really have any of just the windshield. All I did was cut about 10inches off of it and welded the seams did a little body work and painted it to match. Then we had some smoked plexi glass cut to fit in the slots and added the angles. Im not using it on the new configuration if you want it come and get it, Its pretty much one piece tho.
