Phenomenal job on the resto. Never seen one in person, but love the flat deck.

Fantastic work! Nothing better looking than an all white flat deck Scarab. Totally shows it's great lines!

Looks great, another classic saved and beautifully restored.

I wish you'd started this thread 2 years ago so I could have seen all the pics and dramas along the way. You've done a perfect magician's act, shown us the start and the finish but nobody knows how the Hell you got there.
If that makes me sound selfish, it's because I am!

Great job, supported by 'likes' and comments from some pretty clued up guys.

I had the privilege of seeing this up close and personal today. Almost got a ride in if it wasn't for monsoon 2016! The craftsmanship and detailing are impeccably executed. Thanks again for your hospitality and inspiration for my Bullet project today Les!

Beautiful so detailed. Did you shoot the gel coat or myltiple layers by roller and then sand and polished it? How many gallons did it take?

I love that model! Not to many around. You really have something you can be very proud of!

standingBuffalo thank you for taking the time to come look at my Scarab and the kind words . I to enjoyed visiting with someone that has the same passion for keeping alive performance boats of the past. Like I said many times it is a long tedious labor of love. But if you take the time to do everything the way you want with no rushed decisions or make do's it will make you just stare and smile. I have restored many as my hobby over the last 35 years and just sometimes have to set them aside for a while to rest and think on it. Please do not hesitate to reach out if I can help in some way. Look forward to boating Lanier, upbstate NY, LOTO, Texas with our VINTAGE machines. Take care

PG-13 I like that does it ever get R rated? The glass team I used does a lot of work on special laminate boats (Skaters,Cigs,MTI,Donzi Nortech) They took many steps in a process that took 6 months but did spray it. I will find out the gallons.

The owner of INXS is a friend. Being parked next to INXS for a year motivated my Scarab to grow up one day and be a big mean machine. Lol
