My friends and I would go skiing every weekend behind Yacht Club Estates or Paradise Island. When we'd hear the boat roaring, we'd race to the intercoastal to see them go by.

We have a Scarab Sport right now with some big outboards. Wife knows wha the next boat will be. When we get it, i plan to gather alot of load boats for periodic running like the old days.

The Violater days and Greenstreets were some big fun! Still have the recipe for the Rumrunners that squirrley Shirley served us. Did many 100+ mph flyby's in the narrows there from my STV to the bigger Motion boats I built later on......

I might have some pics of Violator and a couple of others from 1982-86 if I remember correctly. Taken from condos across Gulf Shore Blvd. in Indian Shores/Indian Rocks Beach Sandcastle II and III. I'll see if I can find, scan and post early next week...

This old girl still tears the waters up in those parts and sounds great as ever.
