I am looking for a hull to rebuild into a pilot house dive boat with twin 300's. I am considering a couple hulls and looking for info. and advise on them

-Scarab III 340 - What is the difference between this and the raider?
-Scarab raider 34 - What is the head room in the forward cabin area?
-Scarab 38KV - What is the dry weight of this hull and any idea what kind speeds or more importantly how much weight could it hull with twin 300 outboards?

Thanks!

The scarab III 340 is a raised deck that came with stern drives
The scarab raider was a flat deck with outboards.
The max headroom on my scarab III was 5' 2" and tapered down towards the vberth to about 4'6" so I would think the headroom of the raider being a flat deck would be about 4' 6" or less.
The dry weight of the 38kv is listed at 7000lbs with twin stern drives, seems kind of light to me.
Hopes this helps.

90nova, thanks for the reply! I am surprised to hear how low the head room is. Do any of these race hulls have standing head room (6'2"-6'4")?

A 38 KV weighs about 10k. It couldn't get out of its own way with twin 300OB's.

Thanks Griff, thats what I was thinking. Looks like I should be looking for a 34' hull.

Are there any 34' hulls out there with stand up head room for a 6' guy?

Is there anything out there with a 9'6"-10' beam that can be powered by twins?
