[dwjkkrondor1]

excellent vid, tho i thought you were going to swamp it with your own wake at the very end, tho Im sure you know what you are doing. ty for the vid.

[arickosmo]

That is a really pretty boat. Congrats.

[zythepsarian]

lol that lake is much too small for that boat

[boomhauer76]

What fuel do you run? Do you run on pump gas or higher octane?

[ocsurfer23]

How much did it cost in gas to make this video? However much it was, it was well worth it this sounds amazing. Excellent boat!

[barhpr]

beautiful boat..

[lukesturbo]

Nice ass boat with beautiful lines and timeless shape.

[jpgbrookes]

Is your 454 carburated or fuel injected?

[robsmithtrucking]

That ole girl will run mid to high 60s with a warmed over big block. try a 24 or 25 pitch. i have a 29 cheetah thats heavy with open bow, a fridge and loaded with gear. its got a 496 ho mag and turns a 25p wheel at 4900 @ 67 on gps in salt water in florida. used to run 65 all day at lake Mojave when we lived out west.That scarab is a heavy well built boat. (alot better made than todays scarabs.) get crazy and try some bigger wheels, you will be amazed. nice boat

[700triplesrx]

id say go with a 25p 3 blade 4800-4900 is about where rpm should be.

[capnram]

Top so far is 60..thats with a full tank of gas (100gals) and 2 ppl.. i'm still lookin for a HIGH 5, 23p prop to try out, i'm running 5100 rpms @ 60!!

[FordLover4311]

whats the top speed you hit in it

[tmason1960]

nice boat man  donzi the scarab eater----:)

[anth69y]

that sounds just so good

[cochechin84]

it looks like you are on waters of baja mexico

[capnram]

always has to be a dick beater post some stupid ass shit huh amt198!!

[name8ball]

I have a 23 pitch but at top end gain none, I thinking bigger prop, What do you think????

[zytekfan]

Can you change the gearing in your outdrive?

[the5445]

needs bigger cams

[scarabkid22]

ok i have a 98 scarab 22 and when im cruising at 40 or higher and i try to slow down the boat turns hard to the right

why does it do it. it also has a 454

[scarabkid22]

turns out the stearing shaft was completly worn out and when i would slow down the torque of the air bubble around the prop collapsing forced the boat to the right. good news though(sarcastically) it only costs 3000 to fix :)

[name8ball]

I just got a 23' Scarab with 454 / 7.4 what pitch ss would you think would work the best? Also would like to add nice f boat.

[Snipetopright15]

probaley a 23 or some where in there what are you spinning now?

[TheWiseguy00]

@name8ball ,hey there,i just bought a 30" scarab with 454's to be rebuilt,how do you like yours,try coming off the throttle slower and see what happens

[ValiRossi]

Awesome! That water is boiling.

[zzzilladraw]

Nice boat. I have a Profile 26V, really similar to yours, 454 , and im running a 3 blade stainless 25P on my Mercruiser bravo.

[dodgezilla04]

i want to see the other videos taken on the boat. come on russ....

[Xx69roadrunnerxX]

Awesome! What a beatiful boat! It reminds me of here(MI) where I see Donzi's with 1000-2000 hp all the time! Rooster tails 100ft high and you can hear em after you cant even see them anymore. Bye the way, great camera!!! First HD vid ive seen. Why arent they all this way..haha.

[capnram]

Its not stock, 10.5:1 compression, medium cam, little head work. 4 blade stainless right now, 19p, it'll run 60@5500 rpm, gonna play with props this spring..

[mayarodrigo]

is your engine stock? wich prop do you run? speed? very nice boat owne a similar one 21ft scarab with a 454 also

[beefcheif08]

How much horsepower is that !?

[dodgezilla04]

where's the other pics of the boat russ? LMAO

[capnram]

It's got a 100 gal tank, if i play hard, skiing, tubing, i can use it up in 3 days, but i went over 75 miles at 30mph and used a 1/4 tank. This was my Kodak camera v1233 that took that video in HD.. awesome camera!!

[NuncAutNunquam1976]

Holy shit, that's cool. Didn't know a boat can make such a great sound.

Have fun with it (I know I would).

Just curious, fuel consumption?

[capnram]

Thanks, this is a built 454 with open exhaust!

[andrews8876]

I like the sound of this boat,I want more films like this
