Default ANYone with the basics on the old Citgo Scarab ?

.... correct me if I am wrong .. but that boat was a way narrow beam with staggered motors ? ...correct?

There were several versions of the Citgo Scarab which was/were campaigned by Nigel Hook The 1st was a 37 built in 1995-6 as I recall and it had a very narrow beam of something like 6'6". Under Citgo sponsorship it garnered several APBA "B" class championship titles. After that it was campaigned in "Super V". Around 99 or 2000 a 43 Citgo Scarab was built. In 2001 as I recall it became the Conseco/Lucas Oil boat. After that boat Nigel Hook moved to a Skater V I believe.

Thats all I got.

If you really wanted all the details there is a contact at nigelhook.com that can help. Can probably tell you where the boat is now....

Think her name is Janet (USA)

There was the Ocean Spray 38 that was raced for about three years back in the 90's.

That was Dennis Sigalos and Bruce Penhall as I recall.
