Very nice. Just asking did Active Thunder 32 start out basically from a 32 Scorpion. I thought I remembered hearing that many years ago and just never paid any attention about it. .
Also the last owner of Scorpion powerboats was Tommy Adams - correct / I know there was a story about his death or something. What happened. |
They are one hell of a rough water boat.... I would like to get my hands on a 24 sooner or later
|
Xxxxxxx1 if I were to get ahold of Julio do you think he could give me some history on my boat?
|
Scorpion is one hell of a boat and amazing but amazing boat in the rough. Besides being a rough water boat, it's really fast for it's day and straight bottom. That is true in regards to him naming the company after his late daughter but that's not my position to talk about. Julio is one hell of a guy full of knowledge and loves talking about the 80's and his boats. He still has his all files of the boats he built. About two yrs ago he bought one of his original 32's and did a complete re-do of it. He was unstoppable in his class back in the day and had a 32 called "Chillout" that was unstoppable as well as "Unleashed. He also raced a lot in the Puerto Rico offshore circuit. He's a really good friend of mine and we do lots of boating here in Miami as he's always in the water with his 32 Scorpion center console which he build several yrs ago. He barely ever gets on OSO but he often on FB. If y'all were to PM him on FB I'm sure he would answer any questions in regards to Scorpion boats. As I mentioned before he loves the 80's and his boats. His FB name is "Julio el bombero" as he was a Fire fighter as well. If you own a Scorpion, you should be very proud as they are badass machine that can take on mother nature very well and fast.
In regard to Tommy Adams, I'm not sure about him owning Scorpion last as he was shot on i95 in his Porsche in 82 or 83 because he was wanted for something he wore around his neck that "people" were looking for. He was involved in to much $¥+* but that's another thread. |
Pretty sure Tommy was involved w Signature, not Scorpion.
Kmusto322, get some pics posted of your dads 32. |
Check out You Tube video under heading - Frank Marine Key West . You can see how they ran that boat why they kicked A$$ in A Class. 24 Scorpion .
I was from the same area and ran a B Class boat , so we would travel to the same races . Really a great group of people and fierce competitors !!! |
You are correct as I always get them 2 mixed up. I had to do a search up here to double check and yes Signature boats for TA is correct. 2 boat brands that were never in our area or least I never seen either running around.
