LARRY SMITH SCARAB 50 HIGH DECK KEVLAR RACE

You are bidding on a very special Larry Smith Scarab. This historic long distance race boat, the Drambuie Tantalus, holds numerous open ocean long distance records, including the 1992 Round Britain record of 44 hours. Originally powered by 4 Cat diesels with Merc 6 drives, this Kevlar hull is now ready for restoration and new power. A proven winner with original power, new modern turbines and surface drives would easily re-establish this boat in the record books.Special Note: 11 fuel tanks / 1,200 gallon total capacity. Also, visit YouTube and search Drambuie Tantalus for action video.This 50 foot Kevlar hull has been fully reconditioned, including new bottom paint - never wet. Included is a new custom 2008 Owens Bros. aluminum trailer that has never been titled - MSO. I am selling Tantalus because, at age 73, I will never have the time to complete the resto. I am selling for less than half of my investment (not including my time hours). Buy it, race it or convert to pleasure, do a nice job, and we all win. Huge interior space for easy conversion to high capacity tour ride boat. This is a great hull (with trailer) that you cannot find anywhere of similar quality for $200,000, without any historic racing pedigree. What it needs: Interior is a blank slate - empty. No power or drives. Dual helms and other hardware, hatches, etc. are included. Forward deck needs recore. Quality repairs have been made to the hull during racing history and during my restoration. You are welcome to send a professional appraiser to survey this hull prior to purchase.For international buyers, shipping from Los Angeles, or other ports, can be arranged at buyers expense. Boat is currently located on my property in Pahrump, Nevada, about one hour from Las Vegas.
