Surfing too many porn sites will do that..

Key Largo Club?

I fixed it for you..

This whole TGW mudding phenomenon must be cutting into the boat market. Seems a lot larger than it used to be.

I was looking trough pictures the other night... my daughter was a new born laying in a crib...had a Cigarette baby doll shirt as a blanket...now she's 10..

I made stupid life choices..never should have left Mandeville.. gamble the house proceeds in the Stock Market in 08/09

I had the world and didn't see it... Daughter is priority ...one day I will get another boat ...still have all the new parts to rig...

See how messy everything gets if you are boatless .....just crazy

I'll never be without a boat. Boating is my release from reality. Driving my boat is a close second to sex. I need a fix real soon ...

I feel the same way

I can't imagine being boatless, I grew up on Lake St Clair, and lake Huron. have been boating since I can remember. always spent free time by or on the lake! Getting much older now and having trouble laying in the bilge doing maintaince and cleaning.. Can't and wont let anyone touch my engines or anything mechanical/electrical on my boat. so the time is coming to get into a twin engine outboard Cat that I can get into with my walker(when that time comes) and run 115-120 MPH. I will always have what I think is a cool and relatively fast boat. I'll be that 90 something year old guy that sits in his faded boat in the driveway making engine sounds (VAROOM, VAROOM) and dreaming about being on the open water with a SMOKIN HOT SKANK in the seat next to me.. I'm not too far from that now!! HA HA.

I'm at 4 and looking at a 5th boat now, BUT it will cost me something in one of the houses, I just don't what yet. Yep, I was brought up on Lake Ontario, been around the water all my life, we live on the water, bought my 1st boat in 1986, have had over a dozen boats since then. Just payed off the wife's Viper, now I'm looking for a bigger cat. :)

I hate every boat I've owned for one reason or another. My boat used to have outboards till someone with too much money converted it to i/o, so now screw him also. It'd be cheaper converting it back than dealing with this i/o b.s. Ratman/ iliveinash*thole- how come you never finished the L.S. scarab? You had the one with the angled edges on the fairing right? Ippolito's or however you spell his name?

Brah we owned 32 porn sites lol and over 1,000 domain names...

No key largo is owned by the hotel del rey, the whole complex hotel, parking lot, and key largo were for sale around 2004 or 5 for 23 million. My partner considered trying to put that deal together. But it just wasnt worth what they wanted for it. Good thing we passed on it as when the u.s. economy imploded the del rey took a huge nose dive.... they use to be booked up months in advance, but after our economy tanked all the ballers stopped going to costa rica... they all started coming to medellin colombia!

i came down about that time. Colombia was killing it, the fastest growing middle class in the world medellin is an awesome city that is constantly reinventing itself and improving in every area imaginable. Medellin has some of the hottest and poorest women in the world...wink wink... the talent pool is endless... take a look at colombian cupid...

the peso is in the toilet right now so basically any thing bought (or rented) with dollars or euros is like 50% off, colombias oil heavy exports is why the peso took a huge hit going from 2200 to 3400 pesos to the dollar.... enjoy....

Both of my cranks failed on the dyno, some bozo had repaired them and mark at mer never sent em out to be checked, then wanted 20 k to swap in new cranks, he had me over a barrel, so i sold as is where is and moved on.
i was just moving to costa rica, there really is no way you can have that type of boat down here in central or so america.... no dynos, no high quality machine shops, no high octane fuel, no hi and dry marinas and boat ramps ar practically non existant, etc, beside very few colombias have pleasure boats, a raft up of one boat sucks lol...
if the cranks hadnt puked i would have finished it run it some and sold it anyway... rm

Btw to say i live in a shthole is way off the mark... google isla mucura brah, or look at our instagram Hostalislamucura... ive only be open 3 months and had over 130 people a few days during semana santa two weeks ago. Everyone loves my new hostel and the island, just starting to promote it heavily now. Will have a dive shop open in about two months, we have awesome coral reefs nearby... rm

Is Pablo E still in the poky ??

Check out colombia cupid to give you an idea, you can arrange dates ect before you go one any of many colombian latin women dating sites before you go. If you have strong spanish you wont need to. Taxi drivers can hook you up!

You must have me confused with stecz the reacharound king. Lol

How do I get there?

That mofo is dead as a doorknob. He was gunned down on a rooftop by colombian forces with the help of usa delta force guys that helped track him electronically.

Pablos number one sicaro/hitman "popeye" just got out of prison. he did 23 years for wacking between 300 and 400 people, including blowing up a commercial plane to kill a presidential candidate that promised to go after pablo. The politician wasnt on the flight! Like 130 souls went down in a ball of fire...

all that is pretty much ancient history. Colombia is much safer than chicago, baltimore, detroit, east l.a., miami, colombia has rounded the corner. Colombia still ships a mountain of blow north for you gringos lol

colombia is trying to work a peace deal with the few remaining para military groups right now.

you can have a live in maid here for about 150 bucks a month, a little more if she offers other services and you have some game...

colombia had a law where you could carry 1 gram of blow and 21 grams of weed, instead of voting to legalize it that might not pass, the president removed to amounts in the law thereby making any quantity legal... helll yeah. Im a firm believer that people should be allowed to roll however they want just so they respect others... rm

Fly right into cartagena (easiest) or you can fly into medellin and then bounce to either tolu or cartagena, the boat from cartagena is like 30 bucks 1:45 mins, the boat from tolu is like 8 bucks 1:10 mins. Rm

Looks pretty nice to me

I'm just screwing with you about where you live. I actually wouldnt mind a visit. I was very close to buying your old Scarab after it was restored. I went with a newer one as it was the same money and Larry Smith told me Joey Ippolito (sp?) really tested its limits while racing it.

Oh snap double post

Yeah the hostel is getting cooler by the day, we are putting in all kinds of cool games and drinking games. Dive shop coming soon, im going to buy several types of sail boats to rent, as well as inflatables with electric trolling motors. I even hope to score an old flying dutchman sailboat for experts as those lil bastid will run about 40 mph with a strong wind filling the spinnaker... rm

They raced it in argentina in like 12 to 14s lol, that water beat the crap out of everything.

My boat spun out in the st pete grand prix, they cut the skegs off the drives back in the day! The boat launched off a big cruiser wake at a 45 degree angle, within sight of the finish line while leading the race to the checkered flag. It spun, spit a crewman overboard, and ripped the kevlar down to almost the waterline on the lf rear area of the cockpit. A first class repair was performed and i blocked the hull true as can be for two months with and air file, i had it all prepped primed and ready to shoot when i sold it. Hell of a boat, it was in pristine condition inside.

Randy rabe of rabco called me about the boat while i was working on it, he was at the rigging shop when the boat was delivered new. The hull with 6 fuel tanks, no drives, or engines, weighed 2,000 lbs!

Randy was part of the crew that originally rigged the boat, i was going to put 2300 ponies in that old girl... lol

Joey ipalito called charle mcarthy, when he heard i had the boat, not long before he died. he told charlie mine was the faster of the two mich light boats. It had a ton of rocker it. He said it ran very true...

The deck had three layers of kevlar, the sides 7, not sure how many layers of kevlar on the bottom of the hull, when i walked on the deck between the bulkheads my weight made the deck sag about an inch... super light layup schedule, everything inside was triangulated as larry was originally an aircraft engineer and brought a lot of that technology to the marine world via his badass hulls...rm

I ended up buying the former Mickey Mills/ Evolution Marine boat. Don't have as much detailed info about the layup as you do and never weighed it. It's an 89 and has the same thin deck as yours. I always try to step on the bulkheads when walking to the front but the flexing doesn't seem to hurt anything. When I talked to Larry Smith about the boats he said the deck was just there to keep the water out.

Did larry tell you how many 39 kevlar race scarabs he built?

Post up sum pics o dat bad mofo...dont be shy.

Did yours have two huge circular holes in the rear cockpit bulkhead, with a snap on cover over them, so you could crawl from the cockpit into the engine compartment mid race?

No it didn't have those. It was built to showcase the Evolution Marine engines. Never raced but was the apba paceboat for a year or 2.

Oy yeh ! Me likey !

I heard the number from Dan at Archer but forget how many. He was very helpful about digging around for the original build paperwork. Mine has the later style deck.

Is yours a full stagger setup? Looks like 6 six pack, my was 3 pack full stagger set up with 3a's

What you running for power in yours, and whats it top out at?

6 pack, V's, I guess it's a short stagger. 650 a side. Easily mid 80s, can just touch 90 when ideal. I was very close to buying your old one. I guess it's beautifully restored.

Now the boatless thread has boat pics. Sorry. I blame ratman.

Hey! we`ve only had about 700 shooting so far this year lol

Nice :D
