    Twin outboard Scarab center console.

    I took some onboard video this weekend so I thought I would just compile the best videos.

    The last running video after the brushless upgrade, most of you have seen it.


    The onboard video from the drivers point of view.


    Looking at the motors..

    I must say, well shot vid! your wife could go professional with her rc boat filming (I also posted similar on your youtube). Excellent, can't wait for next project. Where's the dude and babe? the only problem with an open cabin is it is missing drivers and joy riders.

    party on - oh and what a great place to run.... someday I may be so lucky!

        Nice, but at the beginning of the two onboard vids, theres this scary sea crature that makes an appearence for a few seconds...


        Love the boat and the vids.

          LOL...yeah that scary creature is me.

          And true, I need some little figures in the boat, maybe some topless barbies on the bow. That place I run is a small park in Ft Lauderdale called John Lloyd Park. It gets pretty busy there at times so I take advantage when its slow to run my boat. This is why I am into electric boats now, they threw me out of the park the last time I tried to run my gas boat in there...LOL

            Cool video's. Very nice and unique build. A little break from the norm.

                  Just a super job................one of my favorite boat builds for sure. Seems almost like a full sized boat looking out the back watching those twins throw up the wake. A driver/passenger in there would look great for sure.

                      The hull is an Aeromarine 31" Challenger classic.

                      Here is the thread with the entire build...

                      BTW.....I put the little GPS in the Scarab and the top speed is 29 MPH. Looks much faster for some reason.
