How many people got into offshore because of Miami Vice
How many people got into offshore boating or boating in general because of Miami Vice. I grew up watching that show and since then have always wanted a Scarab.

At the time, I liked the show but it wasn't because of the boats. Now I find the reruns more interesting ... because of the boats

I can remember driving from STL to The Lake every Friday night. As soon as we would arive at our house I would turn on CBS and watch the show. Then I would look for the boats on the lake Saturday and Sunday. Yes, Miami Vice had something to do with it.

I remember being in grade school just waiting to get there on Monday to talk about the show. Between Ferraris, bikinis and boats...I don't know what I liked best! The kid I always talked about the shows with is on here too, and he has some of the baddest stuff on the water.
Just curious was anyone else pi$$ed that the movie did not start with the 'OG' Mann theme song?
