Scarab 285!!

You are not commercial I would run till pulled over if towing with a non commercial vehicle.
 
I think I already saw the285, and thepromo for it, with all the specs etc. I'll see if I can find them again, and post. As I recall, the helm was kind of 90's looking with a bunch of toggles and such. Maybe the final product will be different. I'm a dinosaur, but I love my touch screen, although I'm still trying to figure it out! My adult kids promise to help when college breaks for th summer!!
 
Here are the photos of the Volvo Penta tabs on my Scarab 215
Hi John
Great boat and install…
I have a 2021 Scarab 255 Open ID and noticed that you need 3.9” from the bottom of the hull to mount the QL 300 Interceptors on the stern according to the install manual? I measured my area by the heat exchangers where you mounted yours and only have 3.7” of surface to mount them. They would therefore extend past the hull and would cause drag.
Are the QL 300s less the 3.9”?
Thanks in advance….
