Wow, absolutely excellent!

Beautiful boat. would love to see more pics.
Is that a 30' Scarab? And did you convert to sit down seats or is that original. Awesome boat.

Still miss my 1987 242 LS 454 (330) - Only had about 450 hours on it when I sold it a couple of years ago. Loved the black hull.

The boat is a 1989 Scarab 30' Panther.

I converted the aluminum wind screen to a windshield frame and then fabricated the 1/2" plexi-glass panels. We now sit approximately 6" lower in the boat with even better visibility.
I had the seats made through Hardin Marine and had them send me extra material to do the rest of the cockpit. I did the side bolsters myself but I'm going to have the rear bench done professionally this fall. I made the seat bases myself.

If you have had it since new and no one has replaced the carb before there should be a metal tab on the top of the carb housing with the specs/part # info.

Cheers,

1990 Century Ultra III
I don't know anything about them, and can' find much. If anyone knows any history of these models I would appreciate a little info!
Stepped hull twin 454's with blowers SSM3 Drives
I peeled the pin stripes off the sides and it looks much better now, needs polishing bad!
I've had to do a few small repairs, and the list is getting longer for the winter, but I like it

Scippy, the engine is a Paul Pfaff 600 Challanger. It has the bored Arizona Speed and Marine manifold, intake and ECM, Dart Pro1 heads, Dressed in IMCO. Dyno 620 HP and 5800 RPM. Bravo1 up 2 inchs. In the low 80’s. Fuel in front of engine. Runs very light but a good time. The hull was raced in many transom configurations. Twin Volvo, Twin Trs, Twin Bravo, Cut for twin Alpha and now single Bravo. One of these steps lost the Vin. Years back they gave it a Vin tag and title of 76 but I’ve been told it’s a 73?

So it's not the mad Mother Magnum? ~anyway, it's certainly powerful and light! .......... I too have EFI Arizona Speed & Marine running in my 35 Cig they sit above 572 cu. in. chevy tall boys

my 12 meter was bought in Nashville but can see the old registration from Vegas. Found a you tube video of it when it had Paul Pfaff engines in it. When I bought it. Had work out 454s in it.
