That baot used to have bottom paint
Owner left the thing sit in the water unprotected back in the 90's
I owned my KV while Double Vision was around the same area We used to call DOuble vision the ugly evil twin LOL
Wow that boat was a mess for many years I hope the new owner makes it look right again

I love the Facebook Page....takes me back to before "Vice".
I have lived in SE Florida since '76..and lived in Dade and Broward Counties during the '70's and '80's. Before Miami Vice, South Miami Beach was a sewer. Old run down Art Deco hotels, Pimps and Whores running the streets with derelicts and Drug Pushers. No body went south of the Fontainebleau and all of the Beach was past it's glory days when Sinatra, Martin and the Rat Pack were headliners at the Eden Roc and Fountainbleu.
Then Michael Mann sold the Pilot to NBC....Don Johnson standing on the steps of the "Carlisle" on Ocean Drive...watching some break dancer with a Boom Box. He turned to Jimmy Smits and said "Five Thousand Street Corners in Greater Miami ...and Gumby here has to pick ours!"
That was the beginning of the resurrection of South Miami Beach. After Season one finished in 1984 there was a real estate boom in South Beach that is still running crazy 30 years later. Miami Beach owes it all to Don Johnson, Michael Mann and Wellcraft Scarab 38 KV's

Thanks for that trip back in time you should be a write stories!!
Thats a big call about a state owing its success and saving from a derelict state all to one man he should be more recognised...... then again I am his biggest fan but even I know he was/is a bit of a rat bag!
