Scarab III X dimension

glassdave · 03-21-2007, 10:01 PM

I am in the process of redoing the transom of my boat and i was thinking about bumping up the X dim on it 2 inches. Its a stock 89 Scarab III. while the motors are out i'm doing a few mods on them as well should be in the 420-430 HP range. Has anybody raised the X dim in one of these and what did it get ya? thanks all
