The only ones that hate it gotta be the ones that spent $500k on a new 35' boat and can't keep up with you guys in the ocean. The 31' Scarab design has been acknowledged by founder Larry Smith to be one of his favorites. With its wider 8'6" beam it's able to handle weight in the rear. The graphics on your boat is very modern and with the black transom and black Merc cowlings it looks sporty. 70 mph with twin 345 is satisfactory. Congratulations to a great resto and glad you were able to fix the leaking bracket. May you guys get many days of fantastic boating. Look forward to more photos following your adventures. A video of her riding rougher conditions would be interesting to see.

Great shot and man do I miss that water!
When I finished the 2 yr restoration of my twin OB 24’ Sonic, my wife and I towed to Key Largo, put in at the Caribbean Club and spent 5 days and 4 nights on that boat between there and Islamorada.
What a trip!
