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!

I was planning to run my Banana Boat with OPA, but my team is not coming together in time.
We are now planning 2007.

If so - it will for sure look like a real banana boat pretty soon.

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...

Re: 1988 Scarab Excel
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.
