Scarab SCS
Gelcoat is really nice and thick. I hit mine up with leverage at the start of the season and it shines like a brand new boat.

97 23' Scarab SCS
Works well for me
Like I sais a smidge tall on the bottom and have to work with the trim to make it to WOT RPM with 4 or more people and a full tank.
It will pull outta the watter like a drag boat with 1/4 tank and just me in the boat... And goes all the way to being a sea plane at the top end :-) Well past the factory rated 76 (80+ GPS) It is a handfull above 72 or so .. have to be on your toes and look for the chin walking and be ready to nose it back in a bit .. Keep in mind I have no tabs

Scarab SCS
Yeah, I'm running the same prop. It actually has too much lift for the SCS. It's a high lift hull so doesn't need a lot of help from the prop. For comparison sake I ran a stock 3 blade 27" Mirage (not Plus) that had less lift and the boat was like a rock at WOT even in water that could have upset it. When I tweak the 502 I'm going to get a custom prop done at Throttle Up so that it's rock steady flat out. It's a great hull for speed, you just need the appropriate prop.

Scarab SCS
The faster you go the more lift everything generates and at way higher speeds than stock, like 80+ the boat is hard to control. Knock out some of that lift, the boat has enough wetted surface to be stable and it's way easier to control. I think with the right prop, 85mph on this hull is a cakewalk.
