how old are they

how old are they and what did they cost new

Those look awesome!

But what about water injection? Where does that occur?

Someone needs to buy these - I'm not in the market right now after all the stuff I bought this summer - boat, trailer, lift.

they are 2 yrs old with maybe 25hrs on them at most. they hook into your standard water feed line that comes into your factory manifolds. I put them on the 22 then pulled the motor apart and sold it to buy the HTM that i currently have. They will bolt directly onto the 22 and 23, just figured I would put it out there for you guys.

Okay guys, need some help to figure out what exactly is going on here.

Yesterday, for the first time in like 2 months, Georgian Bay was dead calm. So, I got to really put the hammer down. With 2 people and just under a full tank of gas, I saw an indicated 78mph at around 5200rpm. Now, here's the thing - I still had about 15% throttle to go. I actually backed right out once I saw the rpm reading because the max on the 502 is 5k rpm. I have verified that the prop is indeed a 25" Bravo 3 blade.

So what prop should I upgrade to? Clearly, there's more top end in this boat, and I'd like to see just how much there is.

I'd also like to know why the boat seems to be very fast for that hull/motor combo. I am wondering if I got a particularly strong 502 from the factory by the luck of the draw.

I must say this thing is just awesome!

is that gps speed or speedo ???? and you might want to have that tack checked for accuracy ,its funny i have a question about my scs as well,i just put a 26p 4 blade bravo1 on my scs and took it for a spin sunday with me 192 lbs. and my friend 220 lbs. and a full tank of gas 54 gals.at 7lbs.pre gallon =378lbs.my gps speed was 68.7 at 4,800 -4,900 rpms,now my question would be to anybody that might help me is how much more speed can i expect bye shaving some weight off ? like;; just me in the boat with 10 gallons of fuel ??? could that get my speed up to 75 mph? that would be shaving off 528 lbs.would that get me 6 mph more ??? thanks for your help don

I don't have a GPS yet, it's on the lie-o-meter. But how much error is in the stock speedo?

well my speedo reads 73 mph and gps says 68.7,, im sure every speedo unit is different

Depending on the day 76GPS = 80-82 on my speedo
They do lie ... Anyway Full tank 2 people my boat barly breaks 70 .. With just me and 1/4 tank I get to 76 in a hurry
Weight is a big factor once your prop + slip is maxed for the available HP with the stock 502

ok just expected my baot to go 75 mph.with that new prop on it,i did not no i would have to get rid of my passenger and 308 lbs. of fuel to do that ,i guess i will have to be happy with 68 mph.still feels good at flight,a little walk though on a 3 ft.chop yesterday

What elevation are you boating at?Huge variance at sea level or 2500 feet.If your boating at lets say 2500 feet, you will easliy lose 2mph.We are boating at 6k elevation and at WOT (5150) rpm the speedo says 68mph when infact gps says 72.2.The reason my boat gps's at 72.2 is the port work,roller rockers and good flowing exhaust.With just me in it and less than half a tank will run 75 all day.

Now the weight consideration is a whole different deal.With my race car for every 100lbs it sheds the car will run a 10th faster in the 1/4 mile.Same therory hold true for a boat but the actual mph gain I really wouldn't know.I think you might have more in that engine with labbing the prop.

Oh....speedos are never accurate.

Prostreeter,

Georgian Bay is fresh water and about 500 feet above sea level. Also, the water was calm, wind was zero and the air temp was probably 68 to 70 with no humidity. A perfect day.

Hope to experiment a little more before the end of the season, but don't know anyone with a GPS that I can borrow . . .

nobody intrested in the CMI's ??

That's a nice boat, but why does it need a recalibrated ECU with just upgraded exhaust? Seems like a waste of money to me.

I kind of like the bimini top, though.

are those sport tops or elbow tops ? i went to the web site and might be interested


:cool:

Man, these are tempting!

I'm staying bone stock because I plan to upgrade next year. But if I don't and these are still around, well...

They are CMI sport tube lites. for 1600, these will be gone shortly

you wont need an ECU reflash with these. a full stainless long tube CMI for under 2k is unheard of. direct fit for 22 and 23 scarabs.

do you have the fi brackets for my mefi





:cool:

I dont, I used them on my carb 454. I think you can call CMI and they can supply you with the brackets you need.

What do these go for new?

If it was a year from now, I'd probably buy them, but right now I have other upgrades to do to the boat.

i just checked website and they do have the brackets, will check with Mrs Coolhand and catch up with you tonite "damn it sucks being p whipped":Whatever:


:cool:

gimme a call whenever :D

:cool:

Hey guys ...
What kinda boat is that cool Orange one :ernaehrung004:
Wanted you to see the fun run pics of the Scarab :-)
Wish I coulda found another SCS to run with
http://www.waynefountain.net/funrun.htm

Real cool photos.Thanks for posting them.In the second pic posted looks like something way in the back ground is on fire.What is it?

Another pic you posted it appears your your full throttle and your boat is riding perfectly.Would be cool if we all could bring our SCS's out and run with ya.

almost done with mine ,we will meet soon in ocala on the st.johns river at the silver glen,got all the service done,putting decals and grafics on the boat this saturday,all thats left is the sound system and i already have all the equipment,needs installed, i will post photos to all when completed,looks like the water was perfect on your boat run ,wish i could of made it ,,thanks for your help on the prop problemo,it seems to be ok ????????? maybe----thay say these motors will turn 5250 rpms easily

hello just wanted to thank you for sending me those decals,i owe you big time,im almost done with restore i will post photos when done ,so far its looking good but not stock ,i felt like if i could not find oem decals then i would just make up my own graphic design ,im using your size/scarab decals but i changed them to orange out line with carbon fiber inserts and stripe ,hoping for the best

It was fun stuff..
The fire ... Umm that was the village we had just pillaged :ernaehrung004:

Not full throttle .. We were running about 55 or so on the outside about halfway between Cape canaveral and New Smyrna Beach

Sounds great .. Let me know when you are ready and we can do a St. Johns run

So you didn't actually use the decals I sent? Did you take them to a graphics design shop to have them made to your liking?If that's the case and you dont want them I'll buy them back.

Definity post some pics when it's finished....would love to see your boat.

im not going to use them my graphic guy just took a measurement,and i also found out that he had them on file from another scarab ,your welcome to buy them back ,iwas just going to list them on here for sale to all.i thought you just bought new ones??????

I know a place where you can get the oem SCS graphics on 3M Vinyl. Its a place that wellcraft gave me the number to. let me know if you guys want it. it was very reasonable.

great lets have it,many more boats to come --- thanks ---

i'd like to have that number and do you know if they have or can make different colors



:cool:
