I was driving back from a meeting in Clearwater Beach several weeks ago. Waze took me through a neighborhood to avoid traffic. Caught a glance of what looked like Violater sitting on the side of someone's house. Any know if that is the boat?

Just Found this thread, very cool going down memory lane! My Dad was Bob Fox and in the 80's he was the GM for Coastmarine in Pinellas Park. I had a 21' Scarab and used to run the intercoastal trying to hang with the big boats! I sure Remember Big Tom with the Violator, Tony Mangeno with 30' Scarab "Just Cruisin".....Don Coffman had a 34 Scarab named "Thriller", John Trusheim (sp) "Intimidator", many Wellcrafts, Rabco, some Fountains, Chris Crafts, etc... Many good times running the waterway in the 80's when the ONLY speed limit was your own boats ability! Drove down Gulf Blvd a few weeks ago, sadly they were tearing down the old Greenstreets location and will build condos.. great memories!
