FLZ appears to be a splashed/custom/home made boat that the state of Florida issued a HIN to.

Something is strange about this HIN...it is a metal plate riveted where the HIN is usually stamped....I wish I could post pics of the boat and plate.....did scarab make a racing 25 twin engine center position drive in 1984?

It is not a scarab unless the HIN starts with either WEL or TSC. Wellcraft or Larry Smith. It might have been splashed from a Scarab hull but this is not a Scarab. It is a one off boat IMO.
