When I see him I plan to ask him where the life vests were & who was standing / holding on between the 2 front bolsters while they were wave crushing??

Almost looks like the guy in the other bolster could be Bill Erickson

man that is seriously 80's . . .
I restored that boat about eight years ago for its current owner (and the guy that hosted the vid on Youtube). That boat right there is the sole reason i went back to a straight bottom 38. I took it out in Lake Erie in 5-6 footers in twenty-twenty five knot east winds and she flat out crushed it and it has stuck with me since that day. I swear . . . . we were playing Jenga on the dash
it is now the NASTY Scarab but when i sanded off the graphics you could clearly see the Hendricks Motorsports markings. Very cool boat, it was also Merc magazine ad boat for the tall deck 575's of the day.
the pic in the water is actually a reference photo from year before i restored it

Maybe there were 2 of these boats b/c according to resources here his Scarab, the one used in the Days of Thunder film is in storage. I was surprised when I read GD's post that he'd helped restore for a new owner b/c Mr. H rarely lets anything w/ any sort of history go.
Beyond what I was told I know nada & am not disputing any of the previous posts.

Thats interesting, I'm thinking there must have been two boats then or as Wayne stated Days of Thunder is an Excell. Somewhere i have a pic of the Hendricks name on the side as i was sanding through the Nasty logo. There was actually several logos that i excavated when i removed all the old graphics and paint. Funny thing is i dont really follow the sport well enough to know the names and i did not know who or what Hendicks was and brought it to the attention of the owner when i found them buried. He then told me about the boats history.
