Here in Florida, there are a bunch of Ale House restaurants. Every once in a while, we hit one near work, like I did yesterday.

I noticed this picture on one of the walls. I don't remember this race boat and was wondering if anyone knew anything about this team/boat. It looks a little like a Phantom?

Sorry about the crappy pic, but you get the idea.

Pretty sure it's a Larry smith later ran as wattah.

+1 LS Scarab. I believe I saw it for sale a year or so ago.

Thats a Larry Smith... Every Ale House has one here in S.FL

There were two of these built, one was In-Mocean this was the other. The Ale House became ESSO and ended up in Trinidad. The Scarabs weren't quite as fast as the Phantoms and Extremes as well they were ILL handling......

Bob Christie boat?

Cool.. Thanks for the info all. Keep it coming.

In Trinidad was first MOBIL MOTOM then ESSO SPECIAL FX then GULF SPECIAL. Changed canopy form three man to two man in 2005, then cut top off and converted to twin outboards, last raced in 2010. New owner is completely rebuilding as a pleasure/poker run only...waiting to see latest version sometime in 2013
