Cigboat1, I see in your profile you had a 37 Miami Vice boat... was that a special 37 made?

hey Jim, as much as I am a "Scarab" guy, I do not have the time or resources to complete a project of that magitude! a shame to see it in its present condition, I do know that someone has made an offer on it, and there is someone else who is intrested.. but now I have went to the dark side!! Cheers!

Nothing special about the boat --- At the time I was selling boats at Copper Kettle and had a chance to turn a buck ! Sorry to say I only had the boat less than two weeks .... A new home was more important than a new boat at the time and the bucks were used to pay for the for the house..nice down payment.


Jim

Jim, any idea where it is now?
Any chance you have records of the HID# or pics?
I'm compiling a registry of the Vice Editions

Wayne,sorry it was a long time ago when Sandy Satullo owned the place and his kid Sandy jr. sold the place a long while ago and the records are gone..... I cant even go back to Wellcraft ; everyone I knew is long gone and they are out of business in Sarasota .. Records probably got thrown in the dumpster,A really sad state of affairs, of course a lot of the biggest boat companies have gone belly up..30 years ago if someone told me what would happen ,I would have told them they were full of crap!!!!!!!

Jim

Very sad
I have frequent Vice boat conversations with Bill Erickson and he's pretty sure the records are lost too.

Jim, I know Sandy had copper kettle boats Bertram, Cigarette, corsa, gara (tempest) xk22. Did he have a scarab Copper Kettle boat?

Boy did he ever!!! It was a big bad ass 38 with arnseson's and the biggest motors Wellcraft could put in the boat at the time. The boat had everything you could put in it at the time --- every option and custom paint ....Just a toy for him and Im not sure how well it ran at the time .Had some problems with it as I remember.Bob McFarland was working on it all the time,,,,,, Not positive about it but there was something special about the Arnesons too.



Jim

It was his ride back and forth to Rattlesnake Island.

Whats Erickson doing now ??Is he retired ?


Jim

Cigboat1, I have plenty pictures of Copper Kettle boats but I have never seen one of the Scarab. I may have seen the back end of it years ago in the boat house in the Clifton Lagoons. I'm pretty sure Sandy Jr. gave Bob Sr. the boathouse few years back. I guess 'ill have to track down Bobby Jr. see if he can get a hold of any info on it.
