38 Scarab
 

Looking at doing some horse trading on an '81 Flat Deck 38 Scarab O/S. Looks like a KV, but doen't have the KV in/under or around the hull number.
It has (2) dyno'd 540's which seem to produce 550 hp through velvet drives and TRS's :D

Question:
Any guess's as to what kinda top speed?
Not the most important thing, but kinda currious.

Re: 38 Scarab
 

my guess...hi-60's to mid 70's

Re: 38 Scarab
 

Yeah, I was kinda hoping to have a steady 72-74mph with the sticks to the wall, maybe a 46-52mph cruise. :D :drink: :D
This B*#ch is heeeeaaaaavvy. But it's a good kinda heavy :evilb:
