you are correct, was owned by eddie fuegate, he changed light bulbs for the big 3 he was a eletc contractor , was a 35 or 38 cig i think it was orignaly called "bittersweet"

Rob was it Eddie Fugates Cig before Frank raced it as Bittersweet ? Later it became Franks BURN BABY BURN, it later was stolen & turned up in the Clinton Twp Mi police impound yard were these pic's were taken around 1983. Today, last heard it was in a Ohio field..

I remember Frank had a 38' Scarab that also had a mural of a woman on it, I also remember his dock partners red/white/orange 38 Scarab named Turbo. Then there was a 30' yellow Scarab named Slap Shot that was tender to an old 50' Chris Craft also named Slap Shot...........Anybody else remember any other boats not mentioned from Lake St. Clair?? I was just a kid then, those were the days!!!

bittersweet became burn baby burn, lighs out orignaly was white with green and was re painted black with green lettering frank secula was burn baby burn last i heard he was selling nick nacks at gibralter trade center, edie fuegate dont know where he went , king kong / big bird was was a 39 cig and a" turd" dick carlson and dan patrona owned it , carlson is around and patrona i saw 2 weeks ago hes still wheeling and dealing. pegasus was a 3 eng signature/ excalibur belonged to leo dedairan ig got stolen and striped and found in a gravel pit but somehow the interior was in harvy whits party store at sun up marina-HUMMMM?? what about "united america" the 32 spectra with the tunnel ram motors, man a lot of noise came from our side of the bay, youd hear it comming -it was like name that tune, none of it was fast but the sound was music to the ear

That's it! Couldn't think of it. Loved that boat.

United America used to sit in a well at Michigan Owens. Their was also a 32 spectra at shipwreck marine in Detroit for a few years. It had twin turbos mounted on log exhaust. The little smidgen spectra went from randy kluge at Jefferson beach to randy victory at jeff beach. At that point it received some not so pleasing upgrades such as an arch and tall wrap around windshield. Still had the jomar engines in it. Was for sale in Ohio last year and the motors were replaced with small block 260s. Guy said it ran 52. Shame it used to be pretty fast.

Anybody know what happened to lunatic fringe? Big orange arronow with hull number marked experimental. Another twin turbo boat, think it was 43 ft. Ran 118 which was fast for its day. I remember putting the heads on with Mike Bennet and it used fishing line and soft copper.

I believe it was a Aronow ......

Sorry h20, iPad auto correct.
That's the beast. I still have a couple snapshots of it. The orange was so bright you could see it miles away.

These are from Fort Lauderdale, early eighties if I remember correctly. 38 Cig.

They were a wild bunch!!
