The left motor didn't want to spin any faster. We're thinking we had the timing a little to retarded on that side. We're gonna check into that. Lots of satisfaction seeing it back together and having no problems this weekend..
Idle and takeoff.. https://youtu.be/VMLeElqcnYA Flyby.. https://youtu.be/l0OCNpbwuhg Very nice! Music to my ears! :) |

Are you seriously selling this after all the work that was done? Why ? YOU WILL PROBABLY MAKE MORE PARTING IT OUT UNFORTUNATELY

I have too much going on. One son has a 69 mustang we're restoring. About to buy a vw van for the other son. (Gonna need at least a paint job). I've got the 38 kaama to get done and I just bought a sailboat (sorry to come out of the closet on you lol) yes a sailboat in Tampa. And there's only one of me. Yes sadly it'd bring more parted out. We'll see what happens.
We're living in a crappy economy. Of course the president gets a pass from the media because of who he is. Sorry about getting political. In a perfect world the boat should be worth 50,000. Part of it is the limited audience there is for this boat. And part is the bad economy. |
A sailboat? :picard1:

Heath, want to pull my Scarab apart at the same time as yours Might be easier to do two at the same time. Your then be the 38' Scarab expert.

A very friendly hello to all of you
My name is Robert FRANK from Germany I own a 89 Wellcraft 210XL since summer 2013 and i could not resist to by another Wellcraft in summer 16 ......yes we are also stupid boaters here in Germany . I bought a Wellcraft 26 foot NOVA II with two 350 aboard .......i know engines are too small ,but it is what it is. Pre owner tried to sell it since 1 1/2 year on EBay ,he was asking 15.000Euro . After i visited him and we inspected the boat we met at 5000Euro. Kind of cheap but there is a lot of work to do ..... Engines are running a not getting hot or leaking ,engine oil is clean Port transom has freeplay ( new steering pin needed ) Exhaust system is switchable ,but the two port flaps are working only with manaul help (internal shaft corossion i guess) STBD flaps are workin perfekt but not sealing proper ...... Cockpit is faded away due to sun.......... No persenning at all,cause the old one was only to scrap I fear a boat this age will also have stringers and transom rott, we will see if i take her apart. Now aftr reading this resto thread i am kind of shocked about the Ebay Auction result ....10000 USD ???? It is a shame ,so much work and tlc and only this low result !? Heath , you have allready explained the reasons for this low result . Maybe the one and only solution it to part out the SCARAB, but again what a shame for all your work. Sorry i need to figure out how to upload picīs |
