Rick, We made a 29 Scarab with
twin canopies and a Arneson
rockers, The Arneson drive was
installed by Paul Abreu and
He was the throttleman with
Bob Vila owner/driver.
As I remember it did very well
on the west Coast and Won the
First race at the Worlds in
the "A" Class.
I think it was the only 29ft
Scarab with twin f16 canopies, GREAT looking boat.

Why don't I see any v bottoms with a single surface drive?
How hard will this be to make?
With all the drive problems out there a surface drive seems like the way to go!
Please add your input

I remember seeing a older boat up at the 1000 island poker run a few years ago. It was a brown color , mid 20 ft range and it had a 900sc . I believe it had a surface drive. It defiantly was an insane ride.

It sems like it would be a little finicky to dock-maybe a rudder might help.
Also for those who have had them-did the boat turn better to one side or the other?? It seems like a twisting prop on the end of the lever arm might try and turn the boat to one side.
