"Free"

I listed your boat on Serious Offshore as well.....good luck! If I had the dough sitting around I would snatch that up quick! Do you have any parts for sale?

I added to my video -- I thought i posted this before I know i have on other postings

These shots where in the early 90's when i was running the boat in the Pier 33 Poker runs

I was alot thinner those days evidenced by me doing reverse sit ups cleaning the boat at the beginning :)

I have that video....well done!

Anyone familar with this boat?

Thanks,
Tom

My buddy has a 1989 43' Kevlar Don Johnson edition (VIN is verifiable) with triple 525SCs.

He is interested in selling if someone is looking. Was just re-done.

I may be interested. Can you send me some photos?

the one in milwaukee was pretty funky with weird murals and **** for $30k. Missed another one in long island for $37k but no pics

Anyone know about this boat in Long Island?? A 38KV Miami Vice edition? Need to track this one down and add it to the list of known boats on the Wellcraft 38KV Miami Vice editions website on Facebook.

Any leads appreciated!

Here is one on ebay as of 9/6/2012

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/wellc...#ht_700wt_1167

Sold....didn't make reserve.

If anyone know of any other 38KV Miami Vice Editions let me know....please!

Do you know what for? Am interested

Also JetJock I saw in another thread your boat has 500efi's...Did you do that yourself...? I assume you still run TRS with standard props? you obviously think it is worth considering an engine swap for more grunt despite sacrificing originality??

I bought my boat with the 500EFIs.....I also have bravo I's with 28 props. I like the ease and reliability of the EFIs, didn't affect the look of the boat...so no problems.

Plan on doing some work on her this winter.....still love the boat after 5 years!

posted in the KV thread, but more appropriate here.

Does that boat have a notched transom?

Looks similar to the one that was used as a display/sign at Marine Max in Miami.

That boat was abandoned in Miami it is the Season 5 boat in Miami Vice and owned by a German Auto company for many years. Someone needs to buy this one the restore it....it is a piece of history!

ok ...I was on this boat yesterday, she is rough ,but solid, needs stripped and total restoration.. is 90% complete, needs time and $$$$$$:whistle:
I did not see any evidence that she sunk?

The "Sunk" part is rumor....from what Wayne and I have been told (Wayne looked at it a few months back) Tow Boat US towed it to the Marina and it was stored outside on a rack for at least the last 5 years.....owner abandoned it.

It would need some serious work....I hope someone takes the challenge (at least someone we all know and can keep it in the family so to speak)

If anyone can add to the mystery feel free to do so......

Interesting
Any pics?

Hay Dave ---- here is your chance to rebuild one from the ground up !!!!! dont let it slip thru your fingers

tow it home and work on it in when your not busy !!

Jim

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

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.
