We've tried to not let the 80's die in Ft. Lauderdale but it's getting harder every year.

What Episode??

Midnight Express Cat!

Definitely Season three using DJ´s personal boat... which my friend has nowadays.

I am such a fan of the show that after 24 years my dream finally came true and I now own the Stinger 390X with the paint scheme of the "Miami Vice Edition" of that boat.

Watching those vids makes me understand what was missing from the movie. They never seemed like friends. Partners sure, but not friends. In the TV series you knew they were truly friends, not just working together.

Didnt the boat in season one had a different paint sceam but same colors, and the boat didnt have a fiberglass molded in swim platfrom?

With that being said Ive been looking for the hull number of the orginal Chris Craft stinger from the show, only reason im after that is my dad has a Chris craft stinger same paint sceam but with new colors, had a radar arch and side buy side seating for drive and co-pilot.

Now the story on my dads boat was it was sent back to Chris Craft in 1987 and had the paint colors changed from the Same Miami vice colors to black gray and silver. the factory then removed the radar arch and split up the seats. still has the repair spots in the floor and where the radar arch was mounted. So i think he actually owns the real miami vice boat. but... if anyone else knows anything about this boat let me know?

Being 22 now and the show being replayed on Sluth its a great show but the family is really into boat and growing up around all the go fast boats. so Dad has the Chris Craft Stinger, Uncle has a Cig. Cafe racer, and I have a Checkmate Sprotfire looking to upgrade to a 28ft Pantera,

Oh and Step dad was the Real life Don Johnson, In the mid 80s He Worked for the Detroit Police officer, He had a 87 Wellcraft "38 special" which was the same as the KV boats but not in the miami vice colors. also had a 1977 Porshe 930 turbo and a 944,

Your step dad sounds pretty cool.

You'll like the Pantera. Good luck on getting that. :)
