Default Miami Vice Great McCarthy Boat #2 “Sting”

Wondering about this boat. I’ve seen a listing of several of the known boats from The Great McCarthy episode, but I haven’t found this one.
Anybody know what boat this is?

Looks like a 30 velocity to me.

One of the best episodes! I think I read somewhere that one of the boats was a Velocity. Not sure if it's this one tho.

From another site:
1985 Stinger 390X
1985 Cary 50
38 Cigarette, Renegade
30 Shadow cat
Red Ryder, a very rare 38' MSV, has 540 Hawks for engines, #3 drives , One of the first Kevlar boats,
30 Velocity
27 Magnum??
two 34 Scarabs
there was a 30' Sutphen in there as well.
And finally the Midnight with the wing.

That is 100% a 30 velocity. Few key indicators are the port and startboard corner at the transom and the slight raised deck design.
