Project update!!! Before and after dash pics on Scarab
 

Okay, now I have been promising these for sometime now and I finally remembered my digital camera when I got to the boat this weekend at the Ozarks. Nothing extravagant, but it was the last major step in "updating" this boat ;)

Enjoy........

sorry I don't know how to get more pictures in one post, so I guess being a post whore just this once will be alright ;) :D

Not the best 'live angle' shots because cockpit cover was on, in a shed, and I was in a hurry. Here's the last one I took, and a view of what is getting done tomorrow and what some of you just may see on our run this weekend ;) :D :D :D
P.S. but fixed of course :)

looks awesome!

Ahwell, the image was too big and I'm tired of messing with photocrap right now, so I'll just leave it up to the imagination and to everyone who's been there to remeber what it looks like, when you motor is out and drive ripped off :(

But did see my newly rebuilt motor getting ready to have the cam "broken in" and the lower unit to be put on tomorrow!!!!!

See many of you this weekend !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nice job. Looks great!

Your dash looks great did you buy the dash panels or did you make them? I want to make some but do not know which direction to go in. I am considering powder coating some aluminum panels and having them airbrushed. Or making them out of some type of composite material and just painting them.

Thanks:cool:

hell of a job!
looks greats OB21 !

great job! :D

Looks GREAT Justin!
Good Luck with the motor too.
Looking forward to seeing you again at Lake Perry too!!!:woohoo:

Looks great, what a difference, good job!

:cool:

Thanks everyone......now the fun begins!!! For the rest of the summer weekends I will be at LOTO. I've already missed half my summer because of this and it has been the WORST winter of my life ( 2 deaths, no more g-friend of 5 years, school, roommates, etc).

Things may be turning around, at least with the ladies ;) :D
But either way I am just glad I will be back out on this beast!!!!!!!


Velocity Mark>>> the panels were done by Team Marine out of Ettrick, Wisconsin, I forget the name, but many other OSO members have used them and were just as, if not more happy than myself. Kevin does the design and cutting I believe and Bill is usually the one that you would talk to. Good friendly people there that will give you what you are asking for in the time you need it. So order a week ahead :)
Here's the # if you are interested: 608-525-8326
Cost about $500 for the three panels AND all the rocker switches.
Gaffrig Gauges were a different story :( ;)

Again thanks for the compliments everyone and I'll have some better shots this holiday weekend.

Everyone, please be safe, watch out for 'that' drunk guy, and have a helluva weekend!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Later...............

COOL! That's a beautiful boat!

Hey OB21...Who's doing your engine work?

I was at Berger's Marine (1.5MM) last Saturday and saw an engine in the shop with purple painted block and valve covers. Kinda reminded me of your paint scheme, plus Mike said it was out of an older Scarab. They were adjusting the rockers at the time.

Yep....that's mine!

Spoke to him an hour ago and motors AND drive set up. Went to start, but batteries dead :( All needs to do is break in the cam.

I'm really anxious to find out in time for the "Mind if I Smoke" run. Just depends on if there is something else, but now both motors have been run and everything sounded good!!!
