We used to build the boats in the mid eighties. In the mid 90's I took the molds back and sold them to a group in Texas. The boat was originally the 24 Carerra built by Humberto Picon. The molds were bought from him by Seahawk partner Armando Rivera(Cuban Jewlers). Armando traded the molds to us for a finished 24 OB with old school stainless armstrong brackets and 225 Evinrudes. Armando ended up being a silent partner with Ralphy Barca in the Avance effort. Avance copied one of our 32' Scorpions, calling it a 33.
This hull is almost identical to the P and D/ superboat/ Excalibur, etc..etc... T |

Do you know where there are any? I had a 1988 model w/454 trs and dry gils. Very tough boat and took rough water very well. Handling on mine wasn't that great. I think my drive was mounted higher than others I've seen and had a left handed Mirage. I would love to get my hands on another though.
