Damn Jimmy.....you are on top of your game these days!!!!

That Back shot was Gentry's 46 Scarab that Don Johnson won KW in I think......

He's Da man! :sifone:

 

[pagliahspizza]

definately a small shaft 3, only capable of mid 400hp's

Pretty sure it is a Scarab. I could check.

Parts are limited. Not sure on details. Bearings and seals you will be able to get. Shafts and gears maybe not. I wouldn't think you can break it on a small boat. Just keep lube in it.

I would contact Craig Colabella in St Cloud for more details.

Thanks

Jim has it right, early (pre-crescent) 3.

Note the front cover plate (#20) none of the TRS flavors have that.

I can't say for sure but, I remember DJ running the following year or '87 in the Lambo Scarab. I don't think he was there in '85 when this pic was taken.

Thanks Mark that what I said 2 pages ago about the steering plate.

You don't do this stuff for almost 30 years and not know what your talking about.

Mr Cig, I saw you were the first to answer correctly. Soon after it began to sound like a debate so I shared some pix.

Jimbo you are correct, DJ won the worlds in it a few years later with Sirois in the boat.

 

[MOBILEMERCMAN]

It may have been a different boat too.
