Has anyone ever ran across a 40' scarab that used to belong to Cyndi Lauper?
It had her name on the instrument panel. It was pwered by 400's and TRS Drives
Original name was "Sea Wrestler" later changed to "Stress Test"

unless i am mistaken, that boat was at hyannis marina, hyannis mass during the late 1980s.

You're right. I bought it from her at Hyannis Marina in 1987.
I sold it in 1992. It was supposed to have gone to FLA.
It seems to have vanished!
I have one of those " I wonder whatever happened to that boat" moments every once in awhile.
It was a nice looking boat, a slug but fun.
Just weird it has never shown up for sale or somewhere on the forums

Was it painted white when you bought it? Does it still have TRS drives?
Can you post some before and after pictures?
Thanks!

I will post pics and more detail about boat early next week,I am currently out of town.

That would be great. If it is the boat she owned, I have all the original documentation I can send you. I have been sitting on it years and your welcome to it.
On the Scarab forum, the boat was supposedly for sale in Seattle last month?
I bought it from her, I put a lot of hours on it and had a lot of fun with it. I know things about that boat you probably don't know!
