Hi, not many around. I was given the actual production numbers a few days ago but I want to verify again to be sure and accurate with my response. I have a Scorpion 38 Competition. It is Supercharged with 525 Mercury Racing motors and SSM #4 Drives. Scorpion makes very tough boats that are an absolute thrill to operate! ! I had the pleasure of talking with Julio (the original boat builder of Scorpion ) over the Christmas holiday and he said he named the company Scorpion because of his daughter Astrological sign.! ..pretty cool ![ATTACH=CONFIG]535628[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]535629[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]535631[/ATTACH]

Why are you making the hatches out of wood (To be glassed over I guess) They look pretty good. I would think with your abilities you would just make a set of one-off molds and lay up with a minimal core. Would net you a 1/3 the weight. As far as the vents, I would use sheet aluminum 3/16, punch your vent holes or slots and powdercoat.

True. The midnight is heavier. I want to run at 3500-4000. Was thinking on a pair of 540s aspirated or stroked 502s. We also had a convo with joe corretti on a pair of 800s. Running in salt water obviously, so Heat Exchangers are also a must.

For vents, see post #128/129 on page 5 of this threat.
Actually, this thread is one of the nicest rehabs I've ever seen done.
