The RAGE 32 sport is the 32 activator that PETER MEYER and JOE SGRO raced in the 90s. I popped a viper for TOM MASOTA in the early 80s. The fiore family wanted me to build thier boats, so the mold I made for TOM went to FLA. I always assumed that became the 32 SCORPION mold. Any way when someone aproached me with the chance to use a burnt 32 SCORPION for a plug I did. I changed the transom angle, made the strakes wider, and lengthened the keel strakes. The deck was tooled from scratch.The VIPER mold was destroyed in a fire so I was told.

Rage,

What did you do with the plug you made from the burnt Scorpion? Did you pop any boats? I'm a little unclear.

When I finished making the 32 sport mold I put the plug outside. At the time I had a 10,000. sq ft shop in the airport, security and all, someone stole the plug in middle of the night. However we did build 5 or 6. I still have the molds.

I believe that the video of the stuff was a NEW JERSEY race, and they won it.

Man that boat was forsale forever. It had motors, then listed without motors, then had motors again. I think it was forsale for atleast 5 years, maybe more.

It was always in my price range, but I just could never get past that paint job.
