Looking for opions on scarab 29 with twin 350s vs single big block want best speed between these choices

What drives does the twin 350's have ?

If Bravo's I'd prefer the twin boat.

A single 502, bigger boat, coupled with modifications (if that's your plans) will break many drives, unless you spend serious $$ on that too.

I've learned my lesson. :bigsmile:

I am looking at a 29 with twin 350s bravo drives and also a 454 29 bravo drive and a 502 bravo drive . I like the sound of 4 pipes better than two plus i would be pushing 600hp with twin 350s but what about the weight to power ration

I would say go with the twin 350's... Its VERY nice to have 2 in a pinch.... yest more to maintain... but its worth it.. I love having 2... its much easier on the drives too.. Def. want Bravos though...

we had the 29 with twin 350, nice handling boat, and not bad on fuel. should hit 73. any other questions let us know. chip
awesome is that 72 on speedo or gps i am thinking i like the twin 350 i was expecting them only to run mid or low 60s CAn you give me your specs year drives mods etc

To get 73 the boat had to be modded up.I get 66 once had 68 on gps!The twins are the way to go! i get better fuel mileage than my pals 502 same boat plus i am faster than him.We are both stock.And the biggest plus is they dock really well compared to his.

I guess if they were both stock I would take the twins but I wouldn't trade my big 502 with room to work on it myself for twin tiny little 350's already had a 350 and it was time to move up to something bigger with lots of possibilities for added HP. Just my oppinion and the deal I got made us pull the trigger without a question.

Now if I could only get the bolt out that sheared off my starter :(
