Scarab Race Boat pics

FYI There were only 8 flat deck 43 s build 3 true race boats and 5 pleasure poker runners. The number 5 boat is the only race boat that has not been modified and its the only built full epoxy layup. There are only 7 boats left as one of the race boats was lost in a testing accident.

All of our thoughts and prayers are with Tim and his family hope you are feeling better soon.

Saddly today at 8 pm Tim Leslie lost a 4 year battle with liver and panc. cancer, we all prayed for a miracle we all wanted more in reality we all got one 4 years that was cramed with boats, a lot of laughs. Tim was a respected hard working bussiness man husband and father as well as a GREAT friend, he had the ability to turn the black cloud that followed him for the past 10 years into blus skyes and when it did rain, he could figure out a way to capitalize on it. i loved him like a brother, respected him as my tire man,and rolled many a great game of bowling with him and when i saw him last night i reminde him "your my hero" just sad to see someone go out with such a fight , he now lives on forever, and the scarab collection he has ammased will get finished as a testiment to the man and his machines. LONG LIVE HE TIMMY!!!

Tim RIP,, Lake St Clair will not be the same without you.

God Speed Tim you will be missed !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
