Inferno went to Hawaii where it still is and was owned by Magoos Pizza of Waikki Beach. Gilbert Sackaguchi moved the boat from Calif to Hawaii and renamed it Magoos Pizza and had a logo of Mr Magoo riding a pizza in the surf. It
is well known there.

Was going through some paper that came with my boat, which is a 1979. It came with a Mercruiser brochure so I scanned this from it.

The boat actually pictured here is Betty's old 36 foot Cigarette. She had this boat before she built the Scarab. This boat was the old Dante's Inferno before she got it and then she sold it to Eddie Trotta, the famous custom motorcycle builder, and he raced it as Osmosis.
