scarab II with surface drives
OK so today I came across an 1983 scarab III with surface drives. I the guy said it was a factory option and only 4 were made that year. Does anyone know anything about this or have heard of this before? I'm assuming the motors were originally 420's they have a few other mods on them now but have holly carbs and a dual plan intakes still.

I have seen a couple '80s Scarabs with Kaama surface drives on them. I believe they were an option. Some '80s Formulas also came with this option. So I don't believe he is BS'ing you.

There was a Scarab II for sale on here a couple of years ago that had Kamma surface drives. It had purple drives on it. There was also a Blue 38' Scarab from the early 80's on here a couple of years ago that had surface drives on it to. Yes a very rare option, especially on a Scarab III. Faster than a normal outdrive.

The boat has arnesons on it. I also found out that the motors were just 330s new and not the 420s. Its defiantly a cool boat and is suppose to run mid-hi 70s.
