GREAT, Let me know a little more about it and

of the 46s past history.

Boat185: Did some checking
and the 46'Scarab with 2
#5s on each side a a #3
in the center is a boat
that was owned by a man
in NJ, Who also had a vacation home on a island
in Miami, Didn't think he
would ever sell that boat. That is a real find.

Im not sure if that is the same boat. When my parents looked at it it was at the mans house in Lauderdale... intercoastal waters i believe. The man had a skater being built and died. Im not sure... tell me what you think

Yes its the one, With him
passing away would explain
why it is being sold.
He did live on a Island on
the Waterway called Turn
Bow or something like that
his name was Bob Hanley.

I have the April 2000 Powerboat issue. On page 109 there is an ad for a 46 ft Larry Smith Scarab (very fast). All white with 1000HP evolution engines #6 drives TNT rigged and Bobby Morre maintained. $149,500 Mickey Mills.

Mike J-
I am wrong. My dad said that the person who died was the boats second owner. So I don't know I guess. Maybe this guy had bought it from Mickey Mills a while ago but Micky mills wouldn't sell his boat? Maybe there are two 46's with the #5's and 1 #3, also I think the drives are new than the boat since the #3 is a 3A, and i believe Merc changed that later than the year of the boat, but I will check again. Thanks again

Was bob hanley the first owner of the boat?
