Default 38 Wellcraft Scarab KV - how much power

Hi!

How much power is needed to push a 38 Wellcraft Scarab KV above 80 mph gps? 2 x 650 HP?...

Old design, but a classic. And reasonable priced in Europe.

How hard is it to get big-block parts in Norway?

Budah,

I am looking to repower my 38kv this winter and want to go with 1000s and Speedmasters.

Any way I can get in touch with your friend Rick Hendrick via email to see what I am in for as far as making the transition?

Thanks.

Jack/Budah has all the right connections to put pretty much any power in a boat. He's a good guy to know.

Thanks guys.

I am looking to upgrade my 510 CI BBC with twin Gayle Banks Turbo Chargers and TRS Drives.

I want to keep the uppers of the Gayle Banks setup since I have had all the components upgraded and balanced.

I wish to upgrade to a pair of 540s on the lower end, maintain the standard deck height and upgrade the drives to be able to handle the power.

If you have recommendations regarding the buildout of a set of 540s I am all ears.

Also what is necessarily the difference between a set of Speedmaster IIIs, IIIA, and Vs?

My goal is to be able to run upwards in the 90s by spring of next year. External Hydraulic Steering is also on the list.

Budah, if you happen to have the specifics of the 38kv owned by Rick Hendrick, I would appreciate the info.

Email at: [email protected]

Thanks!
