Congrats to your new boat,which model is it?

30' stype. i think stype is the model i am not real familiar with the bigger boats always had 20-22 open-bow before. actually still have 20' regal

Sorry,I don't know that much about the Stype.

"I'm not real real familiar with the smaller boats" :p ;) :D

Let's hope somebody who have that knowledge replies to you.

Good luck with your boat:)

Does your boat have windows in the cabin? I believe that year model was the Scarab 300, but I could be wrong.

Post some pics.:cool:

I do not have any pics yet boat is in storage we curently have 3" of snow with another 3-5 coming in tonight.

Yes the boat has two windows in the ceiling of the cabin. none on the sides. It has a decal on the side toward the rear of the boat that says scarab s type

Your boat looks similar to this

The 330/Velvet drive/TRS package is probably the most reliable ever made. Just dont overheat the engines, or over rev them, change the oil regularly and at the end of the season, and they'll easily last more than 1000 hrs. Just change the gear lube on the drives at the end of the season, and be sure to grease all fittings several times a year. That includes the u joint.
Scarabs that age have a nast habit of rotting, stringers and transom. Be sure to keep it as dry in the bilge as possible especiall during off season storage.
Have fun.

gary do run the lake of the ozarks? if you do you may have seen this boat. 1 1/2 mile marker

stype
I'm there every weekend. I probably have seen it. What was the name of it?
Gary

the boat sat stored on a coverd lift from 1988 to 1998 then was purchased in 1998 was run 98- 2000 then new owner purchased neighbors boat (42' with trips). so back to coverd storage it went.

we looked real hard at the engine compartment and the rear of the boat every thing looked and sounded real solid. my buddy has this same boat only 1980 ( white zebra stiped) so he new what to look for on the stringers

no name was never in the water enough to have a name. it has original blue and tan stripes. it will be called hail storm this spring. since that is what is paid for it (i am a roofer)

I used to have a 31 Scarab, great boat for LOTO. I'm currently running around in a 42' Chris Craft cruiser (Radioactive). Be sure tio say hi.
Gary

I will. lets hope the snow and ice is gone soon.

Defended a roofing contractor today -- accused of misapplication of funds. Rest assured, your brethren are safe with me.:D :D :D

"Think of how stupid the average person is... Then remember that half the people in the world are not even that smart."

Not to be difficult, but it's not necessarily half the people that are more stupid than the average. The population could be scewed. If for example the whole world was equally smart except 1 person who was very stupid, then only one person would be more stupid than the average. What you probably mean is that half the people in the world are less smart than the Median, not the Average. Just my 0.02$ ;)

Yeah, yeah, I know. Get a life......

rest asured the funds came from the profits of the jobs,not by scewing anyone. we work on higher end projects and the hail seem to hit our kind of projects which was god for us and better for boating this summer.

Yup.:D :D :D
