Has anyone ran a -2" shorty on a single engine 502 with good feed back?? Like mph gain? Or had any trouble with them getting up on plain?

I heard that most Scarab 29's were turds that couldnt get out of their own way.

Haha! Will see what you have to say about that when the boat gets finished lol!

id like to hear some results of this too

Someone tell me about 29 scarab being turds ,,, like to here your thoughts ,, I have 2001 twin SBC ,,,,

probable the best riding 29' boat out there when I had mine it was awesome should have kept it

I was yanking his chain. I wouldnt mind having a single 29, Mikes runs like a champ and rides extremely smooth.

01scarab29. I wouldn't say they are turds, they are by no means rockets, but they ride very good and are good on fuel. I switched out a set of 23 mirages for a set of 22 Mach 4 blade props on a buddy's boat. He has 350 fuel injected motors and runs around 65-67 with it. Back to the props, this boat handles like crap with those 4 blades, never tried any other brands. I wouldn't mind finding out a nice 4 blade for him tho. To get his cruise up. As far as a shorty lower on a single I talked to a guy 3 years ago that has a 29 scarab with a hp500 n was running 68 all day the when getting a -2 shorty picked up to 71. He said he noticed a stable plus 2 mph but would say he gained 3.... Hope this helps fellas.

done it. it is awesome you will love how it rides. had a single 540 825hp that ran mid 80's no problem getting on plane with a 4 blade. 3 blade not so much

Man this is good news really! would love to here a little more, but I've also been looking for a good used 2" shorty incase it didn't work I wouldn't be out full cost! Any tips?
