I worked with Julio in the mid 80's and ended up with the molds for the 21's and the 24's(the old Carerra molds). the 32' molds ended up at Condor and the 37' Mold is at a body shop - for sale for a $ 1000. The active thunder 36/37 came from the Scorpion 37, not the 32.

Julio, Randy Sosa and Rene were the crew on the New York run,if my memory is correct. Wow had not seen the Super Q boat since back in the day (Sundays on the bay) Key Biscayne.

I remember that 24 Carrera and the 24 Scorpion. Carrera if I recall made very few 24's so how many 24's did Scorpion make ? Those 24 boats ran very well in rough water, it was hard to tell which was what manufacturer between the two at times running on the water.
Where are the Scorpion 24, 32 and 37 molds now ? What the difference between the 37 and the 38 Scorpion ? THX |

Thanks for the reply. Condor is not in business - I remember they had the Invader molds (Rec Boats) from Texas as well. This was about 15 years ago. So the 32 mold are still at Condor ?
I have someone that might be interested in the 24 mold and I am in Texas to see if I can find it. He owns another boat company. Who would I get in touch with about the 32 mold in Florida and the 24 mold in Texas - thanks again. I have not seen one boat nor heard of any 24's being built here in Texas. |

Hi, not many around. I was given the actual production numbers a few days ago but I want to verify again to be sure and accurate with my response. I have a Scorpion 38 Competition. It is Supercharged with 525 Mercury Racing motors and SSM #4 Drives. Scorpion makes very tough boats that are an absolute thrill to operate! ! I had the pleasure of talking with Julio (the original boat builder of Scorpion ) over the Christmas holiday and he said he named the company Scorpion because of his daughter Astrological sign.! ..pretty cool ![ATTACH=CONFIG]535628[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]535629[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]535631[/ATTACH]
Thank you |
My estimate is 4 37's. the most popular boat was the 32.
BUP - The 24 molds were not in great shape. The guy who bought them was in the trailer business. He'd never built boats before. I doubt if any were ever constructed. If I remember he was over by Dallas. Yes xxxx. Julito named the company Scorpion but he had partners as well including Randy Sosa and the guys from "Cuban Jewelers". His Dad, Julio Sr. also worked in the shop and was in charge of purchasing/ parts...etc. |
