Very nice, cleanly done! I am about to embark on a Scarab resto and this is inspiring!

Nice turn around!

Tooling up the lake on the Shootout wkd, bout half way there I get a bad vibration from the back..... kills the starbrd engine. So I jump in the water to see if I lost the prop or snagged a volkswagen bus. Nothing... get back in to start and slip into gear, kills the engine again. Limping on a single... thank god for two !! Over to the closest marina to pull her out and find out whats going on.

Meanwhile the Shootout is going on, im pulling the drive off to see what is going on. Almost forgot.... having great friends to help you in a time of need, thanks kevin for the assistance and making sure I made it to the marina in one piece.

Got the drive off finally, after a couple of wallups from a bfh..... and find this[ATTACH=CONFIG]528794[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]528795[/ATTACH]

The guys say to me... " thats burnt up and thats bent.... "

drive ?

Sooooo..... now im talking to those people fron Konrad. Boy are they proud of that stuff, gonna have to find some coupons for this !!! Gonna make the wife get a third job to pay for this, somehow this has to be her fault.... right ?

Trans tailstock bearing came apart?? Or was that the aftermath of the drive blowing ?

Drive is fine... the bearing and u joint took the brunt of the load. Thanking my lucky stars.... thinking the bearing came apart then twisting the u-joint. Splines were unharmed.

The boxes have arrived...

Awesome looking boat. Sucks on the drive.
