One picture shows my 1981 Scarab, also for sale on classifieds board.

In response to an inquiry, see below:

I reupholstered the interior with red sail cloth. The cockpit was done with the same Naugahyde it had when it was new. The front seats were for a Scarab Nova, and I purchased them new at the Wellcraft booth at the Dania Marine Flea Market.I have been the sole owner and user since 1985, and have taken meticulous care of it.I replaced the engines. My engines were blue-printed Chevrolet LS-6 motors, with World Products cylinder heads; Competition Cams roller camshafts; and Edelbrock Air Gap intake manifolds, which were hard-coat anodized.The LS-6 designation now is used for a small block motor; when I built mine, LS-6 was a performance motor, best described in the Chevrolet Power Manual.I rebuilt the TRS drives, and replaced the transmissions with new Borg Warner 72C high performance units, with large coolers.It has been put on a boatlift, the engines thoroughly flushed, after every use. During hurricane season, the boat stays in my warehouse, where I service it. The boat has been continuously registered since we purchased it in 1985.The hour meter shows 62 hours. However, it is a 40 year old boat, and there are more hours than that. The boat was last run on hose on yesterday. We took videos, and if I could figure out how to upload them, you would hear the strength of the engines.
