original Carrera under Humberto Picon thru 1990
The 24 , I dont really know , as far as I know it is the only tall deck version of a 24x7 ,later sold to Scorpion who made it as the SS , I also dont know what happened to the molds, last they were seen was somewhere in Texas
the 27 and 30 were derived from a Corsa mold, the 27 made with a flat deck the 30 made with a raised deck. They later rented these molds to Cobalt who marketed them as the Condurre 269 and Condurre 300 but both with raised decks. The hull molds reside with the new Carrera which maes sport fishers from them. The deck molds are long gone. The 30' DamnCarrera raceboat is probably the most famous Carrera to date. 27,30 are all the same hull mold with plugs to come up with desired length
the 32 and 36 are splashed from a Cigarrette , which one dont have a clue, need to talk to Alex and find out. The hull molds reside with the new Carrera whihc makes sportfishers from them.The deck molds are long gone. A few 32 and 36s were made with steps ventilated thru the top with thru hulls , the 36 "El Nuevo Dia" raceboat had them as well and as far as I know was the fastest Carrera running 112mph on the radar gun with a couple of 540" race engines and speedmaster drives, not sure if they were 4s or 5s. The Coca-Cola 36" raceboat should have been faster laid up with lightweight material but never managed to as the lighter weight made it unstable in the big waters they used to run in. 32,36 are all the same hull mold with plugs to come up with desired length
The 39' Carrera was actually custom designed and not a splash, very few were made and though it was fast it was not the prettiest thing in the world and came too late in the game for the original Carrera.
Carrera also made a few 21ft open fish and some flats boats, dont know much about them..

24,27,30 are all the same hull mold with plugs to come up with desired length. Same hull mold as original 30 Carrera , the 24 looks funny because of this,, no relation whatsoever to original 24 Carrera.
32 and 36 all the same hull mold with plugs to come up with desired , same as original 36 Carrera
Hope i didnt bore you all with too much info

I believe there were two sets of excalibur molds, one went to thunderboats in IL then to Fl as a active thunder 32 and the other got a pad,notch, and beek and became the 10 meter fountain
46 Skater to 53 Airborne to 55 mti

39’ Carrera/
PH Factor {Paul Haggerty} sold the Molds to Carrera
Humberto built one as a race boat /S-111 "Damn CARRERA too!"
Never had the success of the 30 or 36 raceboat and was ugly as well,
My cousin remembers it best because of how many people slipped off the
sloped front deck trying to get on it at the docks. There were some non race
ones built including an attempt at a fast sport cruiser which was nicknamed SPUDS
cause it was hideously ugly and because the extra weight of all the raised
cabin/interior/plumbing/genny/etc made it a dog..
I have pic somewhere of it parked at Holiday Isle.
Might have been a good seller if it had a flat deck , doubt it would have
affected the speed much but Im not a boat designer so I may be wrong about that.
Also forgot CARRERA made the CriCat using molds from a european company,
it was James Bondesque 18ft cat that was fast with small power , unfortunately in the 80s in Miami noone was about to run small power so they all ran 150-200hp OBs and subsequently every last one of them made cracked or sank.
Think only about 15 total were imported or made, I actually helped my younger cousin lay one up for his own use, he did not use the roof or the wing and we made the hull twice as heavy
as any of the production boats, it lasted the longest, it was repaired twice before finally being crushed at the dump.With a worked 225 Merc it ran mid 80s.
Here is a pic of what they looked like

Carrera also made approx 12 small 14ft Cats very similiar to the BajaCat for
their kids and kids of friends , these were never sold to the general public,
most if not all resided in Key Largo,most were destroyed when the kids grew up
and stopped using them.
Never have seen one for sale.
