This is what is printed but there may be new info that has not been up-dated.
Speeds right now are in the low
60's but an intake loader grate has yet to be designed and made (remember
Volvo Penta in front of the bowl).
There used to be a peep on here that was registered as "Scarab Jet"... his was one of the boats used in the Universal Studios "Miami Vice" show if I remember correctly. They only made a handfull of them.

That is why this thread is named Scarab Jet, to get him to stop lurking and share his info on this boat !!!
BTW - I have talked with him (Scarab Jet) and he is a very nice guy.

I know he used to post about going to the Avi on occassion...
he went to cbbb a while back
He owns some property here in the area also.
This boat is a boat down the river from me. His name is Doug Shcriber (sp?)
The boat performed better with a small block 305, than the BBC. it's just to heavy for this boat. As he said he had issues and limitations with the Legend/Volvo Jet drive, He has adapted most of the hardware from the bowl back to run normal hardware. He said he is looking for something else to play with, for a river runner.
Sleek

Howdy Jim... long time no C... Yup, that sure is a nice motor in that Scarab but somehow I would have thought that it would go alot faster than 60! I've got a 4.3 Chevy V6 and do about 50 with it (with an A impeller that is)... I also think that perhaps the 502 is an overkill for it... it being too heavy for the boat...
Any rate, been really busy lately and am trying to get up to the River every chance that I get... I'll make sure to look you up when I am up there next time...
Hope you are doing well my friend and are past your health problems...
Mike...
