Any 21' Scarab1 owners here?
 

I have recently purchased a Scarab1. Its an '86. Does anyone have any specs. on it? The windshield is badly crazed. Are these available anywhere? I'm in the northern Ill. area. Thanks in advance.

Hi Mike, Thanks for the reply. I have a few questions about these boats and was wondering of you could help me out?

Hey Greg, i'm not familiar w/the 21 scarab but if its just a piece or two of Plexyglass you can get some and use your old widshiled to cut a new one your self. :D

I have an 86. Bought it used, no manual. Don't know much about it other than on Lake Mich. it likes to spend a lot of time in the air, and it's a hoot to drive!
What kind of motor does yours have?
My windsheild is trashed too. If you take it to a plastic shop they can cut out a new one for you, thats what I'm going to do.

Mine has a stock 260hp. in need of a tune up. If you find anyplace to do the windshield could you post it here, I will do the same. I've almost condidered painting it black till I find a replacement. What are you running engine and prop. I think mine is either overproppped or something is out of whack, I can only get 4 grand and it seems to slip alot.

Problems with cracked windshields seem to be very common on this model. I know some owners that have replaced the windshield and it wasn't that expensive. Mine also have cracks and the previous owner painted it all black. I think it looks reasonable good, but would like to have it replaced.

I spoke to a friend of mine in the glass and mirror business. He said that the windshields are nothing more than smoke lexan with a polished edge. The crazing and cracks just comes from exposure to the sun and stress. He said it would be no problem to make a template and buy enough lexan, polish the edge and bend it around ourselves. We are going to do this next spring. I'm thinking it is going to be like screwing a live alligator to the boat. Should be interesting, I'll let you know.
