I think that is Randy Ott's old boat. He sold it last year.

Thanks guys, Haven’t had much time to work on it the last few days. Today I got the left gunnel cored and glassed and cut out the H brace deck reinforcement for the front of the engine compartment opening. Hope to do the right gunnel and install the H brace tomorrow...

Was able to lay down the coring on the starboard gunnel today as well as install the H bracing. I will have to wait til the gunnel sets up tomorriw to finish glassing the starboard side of the H brace because the clamps were in the way.

Also checked out the inside of the saddle tanks. They look great. No corrosion that I can see. I plan to use them. They are 68 gallons apiece, with the center tank, the boat will have a capacity of 286 gallons, enough gas to chase Calderone clear to Nassau if need be lol.

Those tanks sure look familiar, except mine need a good wash. The deck looks like it's coming along nicely.

Phughes,

You need to post some pictures of your Scarab. You have an interesting package, and I don't think I've ever seen any pictures of it.
