My buddy has a 1996 22' Scarab with the 7.4 liter. Boat is stock other than a K&N filter. Anyone happen to know the real top speed of this boat?

Thanks for any input!

It would just be a guess but I would say right around 65-68 GPS. Why do you ask?

I'm trying to convince him the speedos are way off. As of right now, he thinks his boat is capable of 74. I'm thinking somewhere in the mid sixties, but just trying to find somone who has GPS'd or knows what the box stock capability of this boat is. Thanks for the help so far. Maybe someone out there has this boat and measured it???

I have a 1999 20' wellcraft excalibur which replaced the smaller scarabs, mine has the 7.4 mpi and does 60 with a 23" prop

60mph on the gps around 65 on the speedo

I have a 98 Scarab 22 with a 7.4 MPI.
Does 65 on GPS. (no K&N)
74 sounds a bit much..

I don't buy 74 either. I would have said about 62-63 GPS.
