by the way, scarabs are cool....

Stecz20 these are for you sir!

[Ratickle]

I apologize guys and i deserve a beating for the DAWGGGGGGGG that i am and just to be safe i pulled the K Y jelly out and lubed my bun hole . a

Now that's an apology. Still don't think it will fit though.

Come on, With the knowalge and experince you have you could have just offered to let anyone know what to look for and how. But instead you come off like that and wonder why you get flamed. I have enjoyed some of your post's on the tech foum and HAD!! alot of respect for what you do and have done, after this I have to say I am disapointed and now understand you don't have a clue what this fourm is all about, all that respect has been lost to one stupid post.

He apologized for it. I still respect him and his knowledge. It takes all types, but the good ones know when they put it out there wrong.

Hey guys , like i said in a previous post i apologize and when i wrote it i knew i would get bashed But........................... the truth of the matter is i have been doing fiberglass repair for over thirty odd years now and in the last decade i have done more major repairs on Scarab's then any other brand from all stringer's from the motor compartment to the cockpit , transom , firewall ext ext and everytime that a person brings one to me it is like opening a can of worm's and after reading old 377 guy's post , i thnk he has been there and done that . I have to tell you that one of my all time favorite Scarab's was Betty Cooks KAMMA and still think so.

And there is still a bunch of good Scarabs out there to be fixed correctly by guys like you. It's you guys that can help keep this sport going by helping and teaching. We all can't afford new Skaters, Cigs, etc.

artie i dont get you... sometimes you're the nicest guy, a lot of heh time you go out of your way and with your years of expericance you truly do like to help out the other members.. everyone enjoys your imput.. when you act like a dick, not so much... if you would change your approach and not act like a dick once and a while you would be recieved much better on these boards.

Pot and Kettle ?????? Oops, not.....Stecz is always a nice guy....

chevys suck, only pickle sniffers drive chevys.... fords are skaters and chevys are the bayliners.. i would think a man of your skill would know that...........

Still the backwards child, dyslexia's a b-t-h, isn't it.

i like you artie, thats why im going to kill you last.....

Who's first?

Hey 2112
thanks for posting my Hot rod. its going thru a transome repair as 20 years has rotted the chit out the transome. ASD7's are going on it after I get it back. She needs a good drive to handle those 605" Fords. Everything else seems to blow up including those over rated Konrads drives.

It is about time you found this place, there are just a few of us here representing the northwest.

Who is doing your Transom, Stacy Akana? Did you rebuild the Fords? What are you doing with the drag boat?

You heard the man!

Drew set it up with Howard Tolly. Its been taking forever. They ary putting 2" of some kind honey combed hexel space age stuff. It definatly will not rot & is super strrong when glassed over. Only draw back is waiting for this guy to get it done. definatly a nasty fkg job. Who is Stacy Akana?
For my Sanger flat Drew is building me a 429 super cobra jet. Have a pair of Jon Kasse P-51 super cobra jet heads, SVO race block, same as in Scarab. Cant even begin to name all the chit in it. I basically gave him free rain on it. twin 750 carbs with tunnel ram. Howard Green will dyno it, Drew hopes to get North of 700hp at 6500. I will be racing in the 468 class next year.
Blew the 540 up Did not scatter to bad. Block & heads good so he turned it into a 572 it goes up for sale.

When I took apart my Brand new 32 Fever and saw how **** poor it was built, I hired Stacy (in Couer d' Alene) to fix it. It took 9 months and $25K to reinforce all the obvious structural deficiencies. Needless to say I will never buy another Fountain and will probably own this one forever.

Is the 540 a chev? Drew's Brother in law was in the office and was talking about you lunching the motor. I blew up a 540 Ford in my Warlock (rods out the block) and was able to put her back together with less horsepower for the guy who was with me when she let loose. He ran it for years until the boat sunk at the marina. Funny, there was so much smoke when it blew, you couldn't see my boat on the water for about 15 minutes.

Sounds like the Drag boat racing will be fun. Sounds like a screaming engine. You gotta be one of the only Fords out there.

Can you post pics of your transom repairs? sounds interesting.

Docster, Is this your Scarab? I have had these pics on my computer for years. This is one of my all time top 3 favorite boats. Would like to see more pics myself.
