Yes. It was owned by Bill Leslie And run out of Huron Pointe Marina. His girlfriend was at the wheel her sister at the throttles and a friend along for the ride. Previous to that Scarab they ran one with a very similar graphics design. That Scarab had blown big blocks built by a company called Innovations, I think. It ran in the 90`s and that thing had a full interior and cabin. It was sold to an Englishmen and his partner who owned a business in Canada. That Scarab ran the poker run circuit for quite some time and may still be out there.

You are correct. Spent a lot of time with Bill Leslie and the girls. The previous boat had 900 Innovations and owned by Fred Hope, Fred drive, I throttled and Helen was navigator. We ran the boat along with the girls that ran the Larry Smith that summer doing all the poker runs. Great time of my life and a lot of great memories.

Tell the story about the time Freddie got stuck in the bolsters and couldn't move and his bathing suit was down around his ankles and his dk was hangin out.

I could see how that could happen. My body was sore on monday after spending the weekend going in and out of the bolsters. Especially add a little alcohol to the mix... These bolsters once in allow for no movement.

Fred Hope is one of the nicest guys in the world and when he tells that story after a few wobbly pops we all pizz ourselves laughing.
Apparently they had just finished a run and were at the dock. Everybody else hopped out of the boat. Freddie had to get someones attention to hop back in and go around behind him and pull up his suit.
When he tells it you fall over howling.
One of the stories that comes from the camaraderie of all this boating. Not every good story has to have a nipple in it.
