Anyone have more pictures of the Archer Marine A-5 they can share?

a old friend of mine use to do fiberglass work for the what i believe use to be calvin klein's race team known as Eagle One. it was a 38' scarab painted black with red stripes. anyone have info or pics post them here. this was in the 1980's. my friends dad also later owned the backup boat or the pleasure boat they had to match the look of the race boat. the pleasure boat later got sold and went from long island,ny to california. that boat had MRD power with i believe either trs drives or #3's.

Tracking down a 38' scarab "Pacific Flyer"
 
Anyone seen this boat ?

Yellow 38' Scarab Larry Smith with KAAMA' Drives.
Had the number #114 on the side for a while.


KiwiCraig , you raced it with Al in a few races.

Looking for it for a few years , Al sold it in the mid 80's..


Anyone knows what happened to it , drop me a line because if I found it I want to acquire it due to the fact that I drove it 4 years before my first car. I mean how many kids get to drive a race boat on the weekends.....lol

good thread btw.


btw , ever notice you never see a 32' cobra pic...always loved the "Harry O" boat back from the day.

That boat was raced by Peter King , then sold to Herbst and renamed Mt Terrible and rigged at KAAMA in the early 1980's. Was raced few times by them and sold. We used to park next to it at KAAMA...lol

I have alot of pics of that boat , send me your email and I can scan some for you

Anybody know this boat?
 
Anybody out there know this 26LS? I'd like to see more pics or learn of its history. If it is the one I think it is, would be the first 26LS out of the mold. Thanks, Mark.
