Tim giving his Al Copeland pose in front of his 3 Scarabs.

Sorry to hear about Tim. God bless him and his family

RIP. Do you know when he purchased the 5 boat? Some friends of mine partnered in it around 10 years ago. They purchased it from someone in TX. Rebuilt all 3 engines, converted it to 5 man bolster set up and put a new flag wrap on it. Is this the same boat? Last I was in it , it ran 123 .

No this boat was never cut into a 5 man cockpit its still the three man setup it still had the number on the side when Tim purchased it

Tim's Flag Scarab in front of his # 5 Scarab in this pic has 3 engines, is that the Scarab you are referring to ?

Did Tim bring the Red White And Blue Scarab with the staggered engines and 6 pak to the Old School reuniion last year?

The boat in your pics is a 38 scarab that Wellcraft did in the 90s. The hull was laminated on thee west coast and rigged by Wellccraft

That boat is a Larry Smith and was originally built by Bill Leslie. It is a 38' powered by Merc 1000s. It is now owned by Bob Costa.

The one the bought had the original Gentry graphics including the lettering regarding the record. It was identical to the pics you have posted. We did strip the graphics and did do a flag wrap on it. Do you have any other pics of that boat?

I will try and find some before and after pics of the conversion.

I picked up the 5 boat this weekend while racing in MIS.
Yes that's the 5 boat at MIS in the team parking. It even made tv aireal shot.
