Well new to our family after discussions and twisting Glassdave's arm :) wanna thank him for selling me his scarab III always wanting one of these boats!!! I'm sure are family will enjoy it! [ATTACH=CONFIG]514811[/ATTACH]

Plans to replace cockpit area was thinking about these colors whats your guys opinion[ATTACH=CONFIG]514812[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]514813[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]514814[/ATTACH] I was thinking the carbon fiber look!!

Congrats I love Scarabs, not sure where you are located, but any dark colors down here will brand your skin come August. How about light grey and white

If anyone has any ideas post pics of interiors

Jay you will enjoy the boat as I have and for the enquiring minds I did in fact stay in the Scarab family . . . . :D

Good looking boat, you can't go wrong with white, it's classic, I went with the carbon fiber dash too, congrats on the new boat.

i think those colors look good

Love Those Scarab's I wouldn't change a thing. Good Luck

Congrats! Looks like a very well-preserved classic. I'm sure coming from Dave, that's it's tight as a drum too. Good stuff!!! Enjoy and Merry Christmas!!!

38 Thunder baby! :D



it arrived last night during member lightning jets and off roadings shop Christmas party so santa came early for me :D thats all offroadings cool bling sittin around. just got done painting the trailer to match his TS LS Gun on the other side of my boat :cool: (yeah . . . I know I missed the angle on that one stripe but we are correcting that and we pulled the boat in after everyone left around one a.m. lol)


huge thanks to Ed Smith of Cleveland Construction Offshore Racing for bringing back from NJ for me.

Cool new ride Dave summer's comin get to work

How come this is the first Im hearing of a shop xmas party????????? :cartman:


And I now have to figure out where to get glassdave a Hulkamania tshirt for xmas....

lets not sidetrack the thread looking for thoughts on ScarabIII interior ideas although im gonna need some for this to in another year :D


phrag I dropped the ball on that one man, I didnt get there till late was workin in the shop till seven or so. . . . . hulkamania lol its already starting

If anybody has a camper Canvas set up for a scarab III let me know we have two teen age boys so we need all the room we can!!!

There's about a dozen IIIs in my Marinas and one of the guys I run with has a full camper all the way to the platform and the boat sleeps like seven or eight people easy I well have to see if I can find pics. If we get caught in the rain running to the bay he shows up high an dry . . . . . We don't like him at that point lol

High and dry?? didnt we do the color cruise in a pontoon boat with a circus tent????? :party-smiley-004:

yeah . . . true . . . an that tooner went sixty five :D

I love the Scarab III. My buddy has one. Roomy, good sized cabin, nice riding boat. Good luck with it!

heres the front of my buddies you can kinda see the front of the camper top.

Ya just want it for the docks they come in handy!! Dave you better have the new one ready before I pick mine up!!!

Picture this with a big red box on top ;) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wUPcWLS5OKU

The toon looks like its rippen

Carbon. The dark color is not hotter than the lighter

Congrat's on getting your new boat and Merry Christmas and a Happy Boating New Year to you and your family.

Dirtymoney that's what I'm talking about perfect pictures for my ideas!!! So the darker isn't any hotter how can that be???

Absolutely love the colors, how are those in July? I want to move to those colors but don't want to burn everyone in 110* Texas heat.

I had a customer that did his top gun in all black carbon fiber and it really wasn't to bad. I don't think I would ever use black our recommend it but it was pretty cool. I have pics a ct my office I'll hafta post em.


Seems any color other them white is hotter and it really doesn't matter red green blue silver all gonna be about the same

here it is. It was a bit to industrial for me with the diamond plate sun pad but i gotta admit it was pretty cool looking in person and the black really was not as bad as you think. The sunpad was an embossed foam kinda material and was really spongy, again WAY to industrial looming for me but was still cool. The cabin was all black cf i actually liked that though, i dont much care for all bright white cabins i also like the black dash

I like the way it looks!! To much Black for the Scarab I think!! Colors I think I'm gonna go with Silver,Dark Grey,Blue all carbon fiber look just don't know where I'm gonna put those colors how I'm gonna mix match it!! Still wanna keep the classic lines to the Scarab but wanna do new twist to the interior something to set it off!!!

tell ya what i think would look cool is to keep essentially the same colors as are on it now but in CF and just get rid of all the edge piping. That old 3/16th round piping really dates the look of an interior and its easier to keep a flat stitch clean. If anything maybe have fewer pleats put in.


found a couple more pics i always liked this rear shot . . .

This boat just went for sale under Pier57, love the black cabin!

its a pretty nice boat, I painted it around ten or twelve years ago and the owner was pretty meticulous about how he took care of it. Its a very nice older rig if anyone is interested, I dont know if the guy i know still owns it or not he has moved into a big Tiara CC and i havnt seen him in a few years. I think he use to be on here back then

[ATTACH=CONFIG]515232[/ATTACH]here is white and silver carbon fiber

Nice tomtbone

Dave do you still have the Donzi too?

Thats the one I was thinking of.

Maybe Dave has a new ride :)

I thought I had more pics on my office PC...but that's all I have with the new interior.

I don't have any newer pics of the Scarab III yet so I had to change my avatar

You should stay with that avatar, IMHO
