How many were there?

KAAMA

Mich. Light

Re: Scarab Race Boat pics
 

I think there were 2 Scarab KAAMA's...

Howard Arneson's "SEA SWEEP" is another.

And Tom Gentry's "AMERICAN EAGLE". This is the boat that broke it's nose off in the 1980 Benihana Grand Prix...T2X has the videos.

Re: Scarab Race Boat pics
 

Sea Sweep was sold to Walter Ragazzi in 1983,and became Hublot and much more others names in the eighties.
Others Scarab 38' was the two Cook's Kaama,two Ippolito,s Michelob Light,the Gentry's American Eagle,the Arneson/Garcia's Sea Sweep,the Clauser's Satisfaction,the Copeland's Popeye's then became Honcho..... I don't remember of others.

...Was trying to upload more pics. Anybody else having a nightmare trying to upload photographs to OSO??

Re: Scarab Race Boat pics
 

I know this is kind of off topic but i grew up going to the lake in a scarab excel and was wondering if scarab is still making performance boats? I was looking at wellcraft's web site and all I saw in the scarab section was fishing boats. Could some one please clearify this for me, Thank you.

Re: Scarab Race Boat pics
 

Wellcraft no longer makes Scarab's. :( Check the Scrab forum for more information.

Re: Scarab Race Boat pics
 

Bob Nordskog had a 38 foot Scarab too.

Re: Scarab Race Boat pics
 

Yes! Was the Powerboat Magazine Special most famous and most winner of Nordskog in him Championships.

Re: Scarab Race Boat pics

Re: Scarab Race Boat pics
 

We currently have that boat which we raced in "B" class and was very successful.

Hublot again.

Re: Scarab Race Boat pics
 

The #37 looks like Vic Edelbrock's boat [Edelbrock] could have been [Honcho] also.

Re: Scarab Race Boat pics
 

yes

Re: Scarab Race Boat pics
 

Let it Roll ran faster as a B class boat then it did as a Open boat, also dose Mike still have the Magnum?

Re: Scarab Race Boat pics
 

racesdad,
what's the scope on the Scarab Mike Hoffman owns that he used to race?
I've seen that boat at his dealership for several yrs now and always thought it looked like it was built like a tank, no flooring and such. Just been thinking lately that it may be a peice of past history and never knew it.

Re: Scarab Race Boat pics
 

Yes it did thanks to those Gellner Powerplants and all the rerigging Mike did. :cool: :D Mike does not have the Magnum anymore

Re: Scarab Race Boat pics
 

Looking back the Silver Cup day's were a lot of fun with the Ohio racer's with their cool fast boat's !!

Re: Scarab Race Boat pics

Re: Scarab Race Boat pics
 

I don't know if it has been mentioned yet, but how about Ocean Spray from the mid to late nineties. They built a Scarab before switching over to Fountain.

Also, Augie Penza is currently campaigning a Scarab and Nigel Hook until a couple years ago was campaigning a Scarab.

Re: Scarab Race Boat pics
 

Here are a couple pics of Ocean Spray from Key West '95...

Let it Roll, I took this one in St Pertersburg '99...

Re: Scarab Race Boat pics
 

That's the BABY!!! We placed 3rd overall that year against about 8-9 other " B " class boats. A lot of those boats where BIG dollar new technology including a new 39 Extreme we beat the pants off! :D

Re: Scarab Race Boat pics
 

This is an LS, right?

Re: Scarab Race Boat pics
 

Larry Smith all the way. The former Powerboat Magazine special :D

Kaamas and a Rudder ?
Now did they install Kaamas stiff/cut the skegs off or just for extra steering ?
