It would still run 70 with a wrong ratio outdrive. I'm hoping for mid 80's with the boat I'm building. Motors are supposed to be 650-725hp with arnesons.
Sorry larslindroth, I just remembered this thread is supposed to be 38' scarab videos, my bad.

Well, I do like the look of Gordy's 38 Excel, but when I started to check out all his videos it started to go sideways, and then when your 300 came to haunt this thread too I knew it would be trouble. Oh well, it's 'Turkey Weekend' so I guess I should be thankful that any Scarab videos get posted, even though the two of you are causing double trouble and Gordy managed to turn everything upside down at the end of the #001 test run. I sure believe both of you'd be better served by triple outboards!

Test run #003

Test run #001

Thanks, I hope to get back on the 38 soon. I haven't been able to work on it in several weeks.

Ahhh.....I didn't watch it on Youtube, just clicked the link and it didn't have all that. Went to Youtube and saw what you were talking about. Very cool video!!!
