If we are doing 60 -61 MPH with twin 225's on a straight bottom, I would think maybe a stepped hull with 250's has got to be close to 70 MPH... No ??
I know its not the same dynamic but the twin step 38 Top Gun picks up 10 -12 MPH just with the steps and no additional power

Ryan,
Can you make the real "scarab" logo the right size for the sides of the boat? How much?

A friend has a 99 w/ Merc 250 EFI's. He is running Mirage 23's. Don't know his true top speed.

If they don't have t-tops, arches or electronics boxes, it is possible. Sleek hull with modest profile.
I haven't hit mid-60's since doing my sea trial 4 years ago in 40 degree weather.
Would definitely consider a 4 blade prop suggestion from anyone running Yamaha 300hp HPDI's (2-stroke).

'86 Scarab CC 30', twin Johnson V8 outboards, 4.0l, modified by Monty Racing. 380hp/340tq each. Swapped to Mercury CLE gearcases w/1.87:1 gear ratio spinning 26p Bravo 1's with 4 PVS holes each. 28" setback. No t-top. With this setup, it's run a best of 72mph on GPS. I think there are a few more MPH in it if I were to shorten the setback back to 24".

I just got mine home today, 19pitch 3 blade props, engines have fresh power heads, but need tuning. The mechanic that last worked on it disabled the oil injection, so I have to mix it...
I think after a tune up and maybe some 21p 3-blades it should see 60+...
