I've put 50 hrs on it since I bought it from the Brian and Wilma.
The Borgs were the only things that weren't fresh when I picked it up.
Sent them to Tom Huber and had him go through them. Now rated for 650 hp
The graphics were removed when I picked it up. Was bummed about that, but understood from a legal stand point

Wayne,

Let's talk, check your PM's.

If anyone comes across or knows any info about a Miami Vice Edition Scarab 38KV please send the info to our Facebook page or PM me or Wayne directly.

I keep hearing about a boat in Maine. Anyone?

Also some are located in the LOTO area....Anyone?

One 38KV was listed on Craigslist in the New York area (it was a Miami Vice edition) and was sold but never heard who got it or what happened to it.

Another "Long Island" boat named "Wild Wild West" was a Miami Vice Edition Scarab that was on ebay for a bit...still trying to locate that one.

Another boat was being restored that was bought at a boat storage place in New Jersey....the guy who owns it is a OSO member but did't keep track of it.....would like to know the status of that boat.

Please feel free to pass along any leads.....

Rumor has it that there is one in dry storage in Dania, Florida (Ft. Lauderdale) I'll be down there tomorrow and will PM you with any info I get.

I love those old Scarabs of that era...especially The "Miami Vice" editions. I would like to do one even if were a clone. Maybe one of my future projects.

I have subscribed to this thread and the Facebook page and will pass along any info I learn here in South Florida...hopefully I might help you guys in some small way. If there is any leg work you need in this area shoot me a PM...I'll be glad to help.

I looked several times this past summer for the one in the Gravois arm of the Lake of the Ozarks but I guess the guy sold it or something it was never at his dock and I never saw him go across the end of the cove to get gas at Beauty View. (Gas Hole)

Awesome! Thank you!

Our goal is to have all the boats listed, and some resto threads/albums so later or rather future owners will have material in place for reference. I have learned a lot about the boats since I started this journey in 2007!
