New SCARAB 31 Excel

Holy CRAP! I can finally get pics to load on this damn page! Well anyway this is my new 31' Excel I just picked up this week. Just got done doin some shopping today for all the crap for it since I sold all my other gear with the Formula. The interior is pretty nice with all updated gauges and stuff, and i just got it sitting right on the new trailer today too, just needs some TLC on the outside, but I think I'll be putting a wrap on it after this season anyway. I'll take it out after this Easter crap is over with and I can get a free day to fart around on the river, and hopefully get a mph/rpm out of it and see if these 21p Mirage + props that see on it are anywhere close to what it needs. I was told it runs about 60, which seems a little slow for twin 365 mag motors but we'll see!

Looks good! My Scarab is basically a twin to yours but I'm running Mirage 23P and the stock 365hp Mag engines would run 65 ~ 67mph.

I'm gonna borrow a set of 23s next time I take it out and give it a try!

That boat is from loto correct? Did you get a survey, or at least check it out really well? I heard there was a reason it was listed so cheap.

Yeah it has a few things that needs repaired, a survey was done and I knew of everything before I purchased it. A stringer is cracked and the forward bulkhead has some stress cracks and moisture. Thankfully I know my way around boats fairly well and can repair damn near anything, and if I can't personally I have close friends in every marine related occupation, so something that needed a little bit if work here and there for a good deal is what I was looking for :) I'll keep you all posted on its progress, I got big plans for it!

Good deal, just wanted to make sure you knew what you had. Maybe I'll see you on the river this summer.

I'll be out in 2 weekends as long as the river don't do anything stupid... lol. I boat in between the Winfield and Alton damns

Looks good. I always liked that paint scheme.
