After Jon Varese died I sold the 44' and the 38' Tortuga number 2 and gave the money to his family. I think the boats are in the Bahamas.

Ciao Sonny,

I also made him some pleasure hulls at 38 foot. Same bottom, same deck. All called MSV/Cobra 38's in the early 1980's.

Thanks Sonny.... So what is the hull featured in this thread? It appears that it has nothing to do with the Joel or his original "Beep Beep" boats.

that boat feathered , i think this is something built at mr bananna s shop. this is not an original msv/cobra 38. i moved to europe 1983, in my absence i think some copies were taken some of my hulls. these were done with out my permission or bob s .i also thought the name beep beep was property of mr halpern. sonny miller
