Nothing says "The 80's"
 

quite like a Gucci Edition 37 Aronow - time to dig out those pastel suits and loafers and run the Don Johnson 5 o'clock shadow electric razor over your face, then hit the water! :D

It's actually a pretty slick looking boat - anyone know the history of these boats? I dont' remember reading about them in "The King of Thunderboat Row" - I'm assuming that Don built these during one of his times away from Cigarette?

and it's got a Gucci purse price tag. Bet it will take a beating in the rough.

There weren't many built...I've seen one other 37 and it was here on Long Island and was red...pretty cool boat.

There's a 45 and a 47 at Falcon now and the 47 looks like an overgrown Midnight Express---hey Bing! It being completelyu refitted and has a pair of big ole diesels and Arneson drives.

The 45 is for sale and has triples---it's all white and just arrived from Florida...i've got to get you guys some pics of this bad boy...the lines are exactly like the Gucci pictured above.

I had the privelege of viewing that Gucci boat up close & personal---climbed into the cabin, etc.

A gorgeous boat, but some of the gawdiest color schemes you'll ever see. I must admit, the 14kt gold hardware fixtures blended well with the rest of the colors!:D

riskybusiness,

Funny you should say that, I thought - in the pictures at least - that the interior looked surprisingly modern. Beige / black is a pretty smooth combination.

Of course, pictures don't always tell the full story.... ;)

It might make a perfect boat for someone in Joisey...:p:D:p:D
Sorry guys...Just Kidding.

what happened to the 45 aronow that was on ebay a while back big motors staggered 6's and 3man bolster
later

That 47 is at our marina it has a huge set of props. It needs some t.l.c. What speeds did it run?

Re: Nothing says "The 80's"
 

LOL! So true about the eighties!

If that is a 1990 model then Don didn't build it. He was killed on Feb 3 1987. :( The day.........the muuuuuuusic died.

baja27,

what 47 are you referring to? I think the only other one is in Wisconsin...

Is that Miss Amy in the pictures?!!:D

The thing that really kills me about this deal, is that there are two guys who look old enough to collect Social Security in the bolsters, and some hardbody chica posing for the camera.

Awful nice of that girl to go for a boat ride with her "uncles" ;)

LOL Dock! I noticed that, too :D

Her abs kill me

Mrs DR has deemed it UGLY!!, not once, but twice. No Aronow for me... :( ;)

Of course, since Don was years dead when this boat was built, you have to question if it is an Aronow in anything more than name...

Sean there is one at our marine here in PA it's a 90 . It has diesels and surface drives AND GRAY IN COLOR. Pretty mean looking boat.

Speaking of the 80's............. How 'bout the old fire engine red Fountain ICBM's with the gold trim? Don't see many, but when I do, they don't look like a timeless design. Anybody got pictures?

I think there's one for sale down LOTO way...

Ugly?
 

Hell, I'd take it. Personally, I like the beige - a little different, probably don't notice the yellow scum lines as much! :D

I'd take her too! (if I wasn't already happily married! :rolleyes: )

DR - The model in the picture might have something to do with your CFO thinking it's "ugly"!!

There's one of those ICBMs running around CT river and shore, it's a real eye catcher.......

I sold one in 1984 when I worked for Trenton Marine. Then, all of a sudden, EVERYTHING was white with graphics.

:cool:

For 69K ..

thats the 45 i was talking about staggered 3 man neat boat did it ever sell on ebay or what ?
were is it now is it for sale?

later

Kinda reminds me of that Safari edition Donzi a few years back. You know, the one with the leopard print vynil in the cabin and all the gold plated hardware:crazy: I don't know though, a little paint, some new intereor. Might be a cool peice.:cool:

wonder where this boat ended up?

I love those old, all red ICBM'S. I think they are
hot looking boats. I'll bet colored boats will be
back in style real soon and white with graphics
will be old hat!

Hopefully the Crocket & Tubbs look will never come back.:rolleyes:

Why not?? are you afraid your look might come back into style?:p :eek: :p
