Recently bought the last one built #6. Working through some minor mechanical issues and fine tuning. The hull is very stable at speed with no tabs. No handling issues that I have found at any speed. Very comfortable high back buckets with perfect position. Has intercom system but no headsets with it. Can't wait to put a few more hours on it!

One of the super cool 24-26 sport boats I've ever seen. No tabs required, that blows me away. Love the side by side buckets and center controls. That is a very nice boat.

Thanks for the complements Tom! Been out yet?
Tides, definitely would be worth finding and fixing one up. I believe the boat in California was a steal. I recently saw what may have been one in California on Boat Trader. Had no photos but sounded like an LS 26. I think he was asking 35 ish.
Same boat?

Default larry smith factory one 26 scarab

http://www.offshoreonly.com/classifi...o31102-en.html I bought the one in california and raced it in the popra race in san diego last week. I love the boat! It corners better then any f1 boat ive been in including 2 world championship boats. It is very fast and runs like it's three feet longer then it is. This is hull number 2 and it's first race was last weekend

Very cool! What prop are you running? Surprised you would let it go this quickly.

I'm running a thrashed 26p bravo left hand. I have run a 28p lab and it will still run 80mph but needs more rpm. I have a set of afr heads and probably with those a cam and better carb i can get 600hp out of it and wake it up. Im also going to try a 2 inch shorty. The drive is burried and never leaves the water.
