Scarabs at Lake Elsinore Sunday 4/19???
 

I mentioned it on another post. But, I am going to Elsinore to test and adjust my '38 this Sunday. It would be cool if a few other Scarabs came down and mingled. If you haven't been there, there is a cool hang out spot on the far end of the lake. It can be seen in my avatar. Anyhow, just a thought. I'll be out there probably around 12:00 or so. Getting it ready for next weeks river trip ( hopefully).... Mike

wish i could go but i store mine in az woullent make much sense but me and another scarb will be out in havasu watching the poker run maybe we could meet up out there

What color is your SCS? Orange or White? I'll look for you.Mike

Went out to Elsinore Sunday. I ran into a fellow Scarab owner (just by chance) with a P-31. (what are the chances of that). He was there with his wife .We talked for a while , great guy here in the group, has had his boat for quite a few years. Also talked to a guy that new Justin (former owner f my current boat).Today I talked to my boat mechanic friend who was out in Dana Point and he said he saw my old boat (31' Fittipaldi Scarab). The guy I sold it to 2 year ago sold it last year as his wife developed cancer right after they bought it from me (sadly she passed away in just the last month or so).
My boat ran great first half if the day. Then after parking in the cove at the south end of the lake for a couple of hours the starboard motor (the one I just put a blower and map sensor on) didn't want to start. I unplugged the injectors (I smelled a lot of gas) and cranked it, it started for about 15 seconds until it used up all the fuel in the motor. I plugged the injectors back in and it ran for about 20 seconds until it flooded out. Soooo, brought it in on one motor, and today I plugged in a 2 bar map sensor out of an '88 Isuzu I-mark turbo I had laying around and the motor ran perfect. Soooo, I guess I have to warranty the map sensor and WILL be taking the 20 year old Isuzu sensor to Havasu as a back up !!!

Well Im Sorry To Her About The People That Bought You Old Boat..
Im Glad That You Didnt Have A Bigger Problem With The New Motor, Looking Forwrd To Hooking Up This Weekend, My Boat Is All White With Black Scarab Lettering On The Sides And The Deck. Ill Be Down In Havasu By About 10:30 Where Do You Think I Should Look For Your Boat?

I'd recognize a 23' Scarab a mile away. I was always intrigued with them ever since I had my 22' 10 years ago. 10:30 when? We are going up tomorrow night, so we will probably be in the channel around 8am or so Friday. Mike

I Will Be Going Up On Friday Night So I Wont Be Down There Until Saturday Morning At Ten, I Have About A 45 Min Boat Ride From Needles To Havasu

Did you make it out to Havasu on Saturday? My boat ran fine on Friday, but blew the 90amp thermal fuse on the starter(port motor) on Saturday morning about 8:30 AM. So I pulled it out of the water and had the guys at Absolute Marine fix it. I didn't get back onto the water until about 3:00PM. I looked for a 23' in the channel but did not see one

Sorry For The Delay, Yeah I Made It Out On Saturday And Was Able To Watch The Kilo Runs It Was Pretty Cool, I Also Saw Alot Of Scarabs Out There Suprisingly Alot Of 22s We Will Definitly Have To Hook Up Ill Be Around For Memorial Day How About You

I am going out there with the wife and kids to hang out with friends.I'll PM you with my #.Mike
