37 Active-37 Scorpion.
I recently bought a brand new 37 scorpion that was sitting in a wharehouse for the last 20+ years. Not the Chris Craft Scopion, but the ones made by Julio in miami. Ive noticed that the deck seems to be similar to the active thunder 37. What I want is to get a pair of the air inlet vents. Does anyone know who makes them or can I get them From AT direct?

Actually the Scorpion bottom was used as a foundation for the 37 V-bottom. However once we flipped it and took a closer look the chines were all wrong and the lifting strakes were a mile short because Julio splashed a Cig.
The boat ended up being a "work-bench" for us to build off of. The thing was so thick it worked great because nothing could move if it had to!
Of course once we were done not much resembled the old Scorpion except the 24 degree deadrise. We had to cut the chines and hull sides off and scrap them. The strakes were positioned correctly but needed to be wider.
As time went on basically the keel was the only thing that resembelled the Scorp or Cig. The deck has always been all AT.
The hull bottom today is the DDC as everybody knows. Tweeked and perfected for almost a decade! The 33 is the little brother that runs equally as well.
If what we build today was available back then the 'runners' probably would have beat the guys with the white hats! However history tells us all something different....
