40' scarab
 

Has anyone ever come across a 400 Scarab named "Stress Test"? It was bought new by Cyndi Lauper. Actually had her name on the dash.
The bow was damaged during a hurricane in 1992

Very weird. It's like that boat has never been heard from again.

do you know someone looking for one -- mine is for sale:D

Scarabs... Cig Bullets... Cyndi was a boat-buying fool! :cool-smiley-011:

No, not looking. Used to own the one i posted about. I bought it from her in 87' and sold it in90'
It was a good boat, had 400's and TRS, 62 on it's best day with light fuel and 1 person @5200.
I think about every once and a while and wonder what happened to it.
What are you running for motors in yours?

Mine has the 420's in it and runs very much the same as your's did. I am actually thinkin about putting in a set of 300hp diesels and keeping it just for cruising.

Wow! Will you be able to get on plane with 300's? Mine weighed about 10,000 lb's with head, A/C and everything else that goes with a full cabin.
what are you running for props with 420's? I ran 15X19 sport clevers. The problem was, it was either on plane or off, no in between.

The 420's are warmed a little, they dyno just over 500hp, I'm spinning 15*23 Mirages. I'm kinda surprised mines right around 12,000 lbs with a half a tank of gas.

As far as planing -- don't really have that problem it seems to get on plane fairly well and will hold it down to about 23 mph. I'm hoping that the diesels aren't going to add too much weight to it as I'm leaning towards Cummins 5.9L, roughly an extra 400 lbs total. Hopefully if I'm easy on the sticks the TRS will hold up.

You are right, mine did weigh 12K.
that is a ballsy move, diesels and TRS, Yikes!
