Looking for Tempest info...
 

Hi,
I'm new on here as I just bought a '86 38' Tempest "Hawk" in real nice condition. Haven't been able to find much information on them except I hear the Hawk was the 1986 APBA Paceboat of the year. I found a site, TempestYachts.com but it disappeared a couple of weeks ago.
Any information or ideas of where to find it will sure be appreciated!!!
Thanks So Much,
Don

Don: nice boat, could you post some pics? I have been looking for info about the Tempests also and have not come up with much, do a search here on OSO as there were a couple of threads here about them. Friend of mine has a 32' and it is a great rough water boat and has held up very nice over the years...Matt

Beatiful Boat.. However I believe your boat was built by the now defunct Tempest that was on powerboat row .. I believe the owners went to prison for drug smuggling "Sal Magluta and ?? "
Supposedly very well built boats that (again im not sure) used some cig molds ..Someone help me out here :drink:

Hey, I've seen that boat!!! The first picture of it is at a guy's house here in my hometown!! Bonner Springs, KS.!!! Did you buy it on E-Bay? I heard it was on there??

I don't know the guy that had it I just remember seeing it sitting next to his house. Did you put the 540's in it or did he?? It's a very cool looking boat, heck I thought it was a older wellcraft.

Good luck!! Where are you going to run it??

lol it wasn't called powerboat row it was called thunder row alley and before that (before don) was called gasoline alley so get it right :D .now it's not called anything they knocked down everything made cig, tnt, everybody sell cause there building high rise condo's. the city (aventura) says the property is to value for industrial use. the owners of tempest went to prison for cocaine and they were part of the cocaine cowboys

Oh ya Willie Falcon was the other guy .. Magluta got 205 years ..supposedly from 78-91 they brought in 75 tons of bolivian nose candy .. I guess Maglutas kid tried moving some money around a couple years back and is now joining his old man in the hooch..
"Cocaine Cowboys" is a generic term ..not a football team :drink:
