Tom what boat did you run. The 28 scarab?????

Re: 1988 Scarab Excel
 

Hi Paul,
I race in a 28ft Pantera.

Air Dog, We actually lost a fuel pump in the Cape Cod race. I didn't hear a bang, must have been a slap from a wave!!
I finally convinced my partners to go with the Mallory electric pump. It's been great ever since!

Racing?
 

Hi Tom,

Are you racing the Pantera in 2006?

I was planning to run my Banana Boat with OPA, but my team is not coming together in time.

We are now planning 2007.

Re: 1988 Scarab Excel
 

Yes,
We are getting things together so we can go out and have a real good season in 2006. You still have time, never give up!

Re: Racing?
 

Are you really keeping it on those stands?! :eek: If so - it will for sure look like a real banana boat pretty soon. :p

Yes I am...

Those stands are actually better than jack stands.

The boat was only raced one season, then put on those stands. Then it sat for 10 years with out falling.

One more year should be fine... :drink:

That boat looks like the brochure boat for 90.I have it somewhere .

I think I still have all the Power Boat mags on the 88-89 Scarab Excell Ill look and see.

On my 28 it would chine walk bad above 80.

I belive the speed record was made by Dan Archer at Archer marine .It was a 28 with out the swim platform which was the same as the 26 Scarab hull. It was a race hull.had a Paul Plaff 780hp in it. He told me X dim was raised . I think he told me 15 inches???

Rob, I still have that brochure, that's the one!!

As of 2 years ago, it was still here on the Chesapeake down in the South River, stored at Liberty Marina and Boatel, owners name was Jorge if I recall correctly. It still looked good, but was in need of new vinyl.
