No, those big scoops never exist and they kill the nice Scarab design imho.

Ahh yes I understand. The scale purist. I may go there someday and certainly appreciate true scale models but I’m more a resto-mod kinda guy. I’m building a scale model of “my” Scarab I will never own. So of course it has blown 3500HP motors and steerable Arneson surface drives.
Scoops are bonded on. They still need some minor filler work before primer later today, then hopefully a quick sand in the morning and off to the body shop.
After weighing this I thought it might be a bit light and weak, so I sanded my hull sides that were a little ugly anyway from manipulating the CF to fit the steps at the chine and laid some more CF.
