Default Predator Powerboats rebuilding a Scarab_38

Here are some initial pics of the work being done at Predator Powerboats in Patchogue, NY

The balsa work is a lightweight hatch. Will have twin scoops when done.

Can't wait to see the paint scheme that's been planned for this beautiful race-conversion hull

I don't think I've ever seen a single-step hull... what's the story? Looking forward to watching the rebuild!

I'll keep you posted as to what engnines/drives the owner wants to put in her

...single step hull - perhaps the other scarab experts can describe why the single step race boat



2 of the 4 air vents on the deck's windscreen will be covered over.

The hull is still going thru hull prep. Moved inside for work to be done in doors. This is where the next stages need to be out of the weather. Arnaldo at Predator Powerboats http://www.predatorpowerboats.com/

will be re-designing the dash and rebuilding the dash to owners specs.
