Here's some of my 1996 29'

Eddie,

Here are a few shots of the engines. Like I said they need some fresh paint and both need head jobs which is being done as we speak!

I'm really missing mine right now.

Looks like you might have borg warner trannys...????
Are you going to keep the Fresh water cooling?

They are borg warner trannys and I am definitely keeping the fresh water cooling. I am replumbing both engines because they way the are plumbed currently is like a rats nest. I am gonna make a plate that mounts on top of the tranny's that contains the oil cooler, tranny cooler, remote oil filter, MSD Box, Ignition Coil, and fuel pump. That way everything comes out with the engines and makes the install a lot cleaner.

Was your originally fresh water cooled? Are you running TRS's with Borg Warners?

I am running trs drives with merctrans.
Never had fresh water cooling...I have a really slick flushing set up were I can Hook 1 hose up to the side and flush both motors without even opening the hatches. I did not want to add it either because it is already hard enough to work in there as it is. I have the steel intake so it does ok.

I assume they are 454's, What kind of horsepower and speed do you see?

The 502's are making about 565HP ea. The boat will run mid 80's on a pitot speedo, Can't wait to see what she runs on a GPS!

Sebago frozen over yet?

I hope to have the scarab in the water next year. I plan to spend most of my time on sebago with it.

You spend any time at the sand bar at the mouth of the songo river?

454's 330hp...60mph on my gps...
Your GPS will disappoint you!!
This is a very hard hull to make speed with. The outdrives are so deep in the water. If your hitting 80 then maybe they raised your x-dim. That might explain why your hatches are flush mounted...What props are you running?

I am expecting high 70's with over 1100HP but who knows, I am not sure what props I have and they are all tucked away right now for the winter. When I pull the other boat out of the garage I will take a look at the props.
