Differences 28 Excel vs. 29
Hi
I have a 28 Excel iīm thinking about a change to a single engine 29 Scarab.
We donīt have many here in Germany, so i know it inside only from pictures.
Does anybody know the difference of the cabin ? Is it higher like the 28 XLT or just the same like the Excel ?
Is the Hull realy so much better in rough water ?
I think the 29 is slower than the 28 compared with same Motors, is this right ?
Whatīs the weight of a single engine (actualy) ?
At the moment a "big thing" in Germany : CE Certificate
Does the 29 Scarabīs have one ?
Thanks in advance
Hans

Hi BY U BOY,
Thanks for answering ! ! !
Do you know is the cabin as big as the 28 XLT ?
Are all the single engine Scarabs changed from dual to single or are they original singles
Have you heard something about CE Certifikation

I had a buddy that had a 29 I rode with him on a pretty good bit and worked on it some also. To me its a lot more boat than the 28 I had.It has a good bit more room up front also.
How much more would it cost to step up to a 30-34 ft Scarab?

Hi Strip Poker 388
In Germany we can only tow a trailer up to 3.5 To. (3500 Kilo) with a SUV
So a 29 with dual engine is about 3.8 - 4.0 To. with the trailer, to much. My Tahoe can tow 3.5 To. for more i would need a big Pickup (3500 or 4500) with Airbrakesysthem and a trailer with airbrakes.
Single engine could be around 3.2 - 3.4 To. thats ok
Also at the moment we pay for 1 Liter Gas 1.5 Euro thas about 9,- USD/ Gallon (no joke)
A dual Big Block boat use about 100 Liter / 26.5 Gallon a hour (i think) thats not my range
We trailer the boat all the time and we boat on a river (Rhein), or for holidayīs in Italy Lake Garda.
28 or 29 foot is ok and payable for me
I have never seen a 30 foot or bigger with single Motor (maybe 700 or 800 hp) this could be the absolutly the border in weight.
There is a 31 Scarab with dual 7,4 MPI for sale in classifieds lookīs realy good but its to much to change ( Truck, trailer, insurance maybe an additional "allday car" so the total cost in a year is to high.
Do you know about the ride in rough water.
The 28 is not bad, the faster the better on rough water.
The 29 should be better ???
Greatings

So the weight of a twin put you above your towing limit. I figure your gas was around 8.00The 28 is a little wider.My 28 Scarab with a 365hp mag would run around 62.My buddy 96 29 had a 415hp mpi,23 3bld,5000rpm it would run around 62, had a nouther buddy with the same style boat but with a procharger and it would run around 72.I would say the 29 will handle and ride a lot better that the 28.Its a deeper boat, stand up bolsters, the cabin has more head room.I don't have any experience with a twin 29 Scarab,but Ive heard they run around 75mph,
I have a bunch of picks of the 29 if ya want them?

My 28 with full fuel and the blower motor was 5895, I had a fiberglass pontoon style lift and with my buddy's 29 on it would barley lift it, it was about 5 inch deeper in the water on this floating lift compared to my 28. the lift was rated at 6000k, I am guessing its around 00lbs more, The claimed dry weight of the 28 is 4600.Theres a thread in the Scarab section with a lot of info,search
