I have always wanted the Dumas 55" Scarab for its scale appearance. Bought one recently and am in the building process.
I am between a Zenoah G23 and a Picco 90 for power. I understand this forum is race oriented and may not get too much response for this hull. So I will ask a generic question: FOr any given deepvee hull, what kind of speed can I expect from a Zenoah and a Picco 90?
I am leaning towards the Zenoah not because of fuel cost but because of easy clean up inside the hull. However, if there is a big difference in performance, I will reconsider my choice. I would be happy if a Zenoah powered Scarab will do 50mph.
Thanks,
Kez
