'95 Scarab 31
Anyone running a similar boat? '95 Scarab 31 with HP 450's, Gil Switchable Exhaust, Bravo "Performance" Drives and 25" Mirage Props. This model has the low Plexi windscreen not the large windshield set-up as seen on earlier thunders. Looking for an estimate of top speed and need a drive tie bar.

Finally get your boat out of the water ?
Hey still looking for a ride in your new toy. How many hrs did you get on it before the season ran out? Hopefully, you started dialing it in.
Call me at the office sometime

What rpm can you reach, and what is the dry weight of the boat? I have a 30' panther and with running 25p mirages at 5050 got to about 70-71mph. As powered at the moment I am only getting 4700rpm and about 67-68mph. Reworking the eingines over the winter and hoping to be in the 430hp range, going up to hopefully a labbed 27p mirage and turning 5100rpm. I am estimating 75mph if all goes as planned. My listed boat weight dry is 6500 pounds.
For your exact boat I have read threads discussing speed. If you do a search on this forum you may get a more precise guesstimate. Also, I have seen tie bars frequently on ebay motors.
