ya learn something new every day. compare the pics side by side and they are very similar

What ever it is...it looks HEAVY! :eekdrop:

That's the good thing about the forums. I wish people would post more pics.
Anyway, the other 38' model looked similar to this:

There is a thread on that model on SOS. Search for 'Remember this flying Pantara' in the 'Historic&Classic Offshore' section

i could see that being a pantera cus of the outboards. BUT the cigarette on the side kinda makes me wonder.
any idea how many 38's were made??

1983 Scorpion 38'
 

The hull identification numbers are "SOP10638SG 83".

There is a rivet inside the "O" and another rivet over the space between "G" and "8". The floor of the bilge between the stringers has two sets of reinforcing ribs patterned in a Z formation. The center stringer is much thicker. I've seen these features on other 1980's Scorpion boats built by Julio DeVerona.

I haven't found a Scorpion picture logo anywhere on or in the boat. Still has the original cabin interior. Four fuel tanks. Most everything works and functions as it should. The lines on this boat are amazingly cool! I'm a big fan of the tall deck boats like 80's Carrera's. The wing really makes the look of this boat...I'm keeping it on there.

All the paperwork says "38 Scorpion" with a papertrail from three previous owners including a sales sheet from Top Gun Marine in Fort Lauderdale FL.

Does anyone have more info for this boat?
I'd sure like to hear it. Thanks.

Pantera made couple of 38' boats. From the 38' Signature molds.

But not like the red one shown in the ebay add.

Looks like a Carrera 39 so it may very well be a Scorpion as he (Julio DeVarona) bought molds from Picon at Carrera.
It was a Paul haggerty design,,Distinctive because of the angled front deck which made everyone who tried boarding the boat by front slide off.

I do have a Pantera brochure of the 38R showing the El Boss raceboat from above.

Way cool! Can you scan that brochure? Would be fun see an old Pantera brochure :)

I'm not sure, but I think the old man Pepe raced "El Boss" .

It takes time to build a Pantera. But your kids will enjoy it.:daz:
