I just bought a 43 scarab thunder without power and drives(original had twin blower motors and # 6 drives) and have been trying to determine proper drive height for twin # 3 drives . I was thinking that asking Larry Smith might net me the best advice. Thanks Rick G.

i'm pretty sure his phone number at the shop was posted here a while back

Thanks Shane B

Try Archer Marine, Dan Macnamara, he is the guy that is working with Larry now in Costa Mesa CA. (949)646-9778 they are building and rigging Larry Smith boats...Dan is a knowledgeble guy and could probably give you the best advice.

Dan and Larry converted one of the 43's to a 48 or 50 with twin Diesels and arneson drives, the boat cruised all day @ 70mph solid.

Here's a few shots of the boat running at the 2004 SCOPE Poker Run, Dan driving and Larry sitting shotgun

Thanks guys I actually spoke to Dan and ne indeed did set me up. In fact he recommends for the 43 Scarab with a notch , no standoff boxes and # 3 drives to run the drives with the prop shaft 2 inches below the hull. This translates to an X dimension of 22.31 inches to be exact.Jeff at CMC also recommended the same setting. You guys have been great and I couldn't have donw this without your help . I hope some day I can return the favour.
