It used to be quite different in the Early 90s.
The boats that are going to be there next season that I know are as follows:
Baja 442 in Helsinki
Baja 38 in Mikkeli I guess
Baja 29 in Helsinki?
Powerquest 260 in Helsinki
And then some older boats like Formulas, Performance, Mach 1 etc.
Do you know others?

In Turku* and my knowing ofThere´s the following boats:
*The Scarab 38 KV MV edition (told to be one of the TV series boats but not so sure about it, my friend has it today with Diesels...YUCK is my opinion)
*A Baja 420 ES also with twin diesels.
*the Former Offshore racer "Talvisota" (Winter War) a 385 Stinger.
Another 385 Stinger was here (moved to Sweden)
*2 312 Stingers
*3-4 26 Nova spyders
*29 Scarab
*30 Scarab
*some 30+ Formulas one with Diesels..(YUck).

A 32 Baja was sold from here (a former racer by Wegelius) (Black...the one that hit a log in Stockholm-Helsinki Race way back..)
Plus then There a few cats
A 27 Cougar
35 Chris Cat
36 Bella Falcon (Skater ?)
Also there has been at least one 32 Sea Ray Pachanga.

So there IS plenty of boats for Poker runs...here in Turku Archipelago we had few years back some poker runs.

Did all 38KV´s have a Kevlar hull...I´m told Wellcraft had a KEV/ Kevlar text below the serial number if it was a kevlar hull ?
If yes then Im definitely searching for a 38KV MV.

I believe thats the boat 38vice has...and thats the in my eyes best colour scheme of these models.
Well the side of the canopy could be black like the dashboard to make the boat look sleeker.

hi guys,
i am from germany , and the man from Auto Salon Singen is a good friend to me...
The Scarab you see at Ebay is the original from the Movie Miami Vice....
There were two Boats. 1 stunt boat and another movie Boat, the stunt boat has only 2x 7,4 litres, the movie boat that is in germany has 2x 8,2 litres with the rs drives...this is the boat from the car salon singen...
Maybe i am goning to buy this Boat this winter...But at frist my cougar had to be work..

Can anyone tell me if the Miami Vice edition boat,can be the true Miami Vice boat ,even if it does NOT have the radar arch?
We have a '87 38 Scarab KV,which looks like the Miami Vice boat,same graphics,and from your description ,has the the flat,non skid top deck(although the middle of the top deck has a raised area down the middle where the rail goes down the length)
It does have the thick fiberglass windscreen, not Plexiglas.
The thing looks so much like it ,that today ,when we pulled up at a bar,a guy there freaked out ....he had a Miami vice t-shirt at home and actually drove home,got the shirt,came back ,and gave it to us.The boat on the shirt looks just like ours, just no radar arch,also the engine hatch on ours is flat,no raised area like there is in pictures.
We were wondering if someone could have removed the arch and put another hatch cover on it so they had a usable sun deck,or if thats the way it came and its NOT a true Miami Vice boat
If anyone has the specs on the true Miami Vice boat could they get a hold of us?
With all the things we keep reading here we are wondering if we have one
The guy we bought it from said it was a Miami vice boat theme and would be a classic.But we bought it because we fell in love with it........

There where only 3 boat uses for filming of the show, Look for holes on your dash and deck for the camera mounts
