    Looking for info and Help on a Scarab Jet Boat

    I picked this little guy up yesterday and info would help..

    It's a 225hp V6 Vortex motor and Volvo jet drive..

    Can you get performance impellers for this? I wont be running out and doing any engine mods this year but I do have a ProCharger doing nothing.. anyone add lets say 100hp's to these boats?

    Yes my garage is stuffed.. lol

    I have not found much on this boat, but what little I have found people all seem to agree that adding any extra weight to the ass-end is not the best idea (not sure why),

    But a closed cooling light weight aluminum LS1 motor would weigh less than the 4.3 vortec in it.. lol

    Could always put a blower on the 4.3 and do some head work.

    Not sure if this was a production thing, but Laz Mesa's in Miami at mesa balancing kid built one as a school project that had a B&M blower with a holley on it, was definitely cool looking, not sure if they ever put it in anything and ran it
