No bustin on miami vice.every friday night for a cople years i would not leave the house until i got to see the three tone blue and white 85 38 ft chris craft stinger launch off a "big one"during the opening credits.remember?this was before they switched over to the 38 kv scarab with the radar arch

I remember it well...The intro is the best part of the show if you ask me.

Trav,
So what's wrong with pink shirts and sky blue pants?

I love it when the OB's sound like Big Blocks.

sence Nort (aka Universal Chaos) is so good with photo shop mabe he can make us a picture?

What are some good episodes of Miami Vice that have boat chases? I remember one when Don Johnson was in a small boat with a outboard on it chasing some one through the intercoastals, but its been a while.

I love the opening to Miami Vice!

If you watch closely you can see Don Johnson knows the wave is coming they launch off of, but "tubbs" is a little taken back when they launch!! That's some good stuff....And the final portion of the opening where they show all the boats racing away from miami from a helicopter is some 80's offshore race.

Ragtop409,

Is that pic the Chris Craft or the Scarab??

Chummy,

remember the episode where they were chasing the bad guys out off of Miami near the stilt houses and they were hiding in one of the actual houses. I think the bad guys had a Scarab too that ran through one of the boat garages....It's been a while though.

Tank

The best one is where they do the "offshore" race around Miami that is organized out of some guy's house(not Reggie ). I think the bad guy had a Magnum 50. It was great seeing Crockett, Tubbs and somebody else wearing their parachute nylon jumpsuits and no helmets during the "race".

That pic is the Chris Craft-you can tell by the wood around the windshield

Insptech,

I thought that was a 50 Cary in that episode. They switched the boats when they went out of sight, or something like that.

I was in high school when Miami Vice was in it's heyday and it was one my favorite shows...right up there with the A-team and Riptide....My parents had a Wellcraft dealership at the time and we would play the Miami Vice soundtrack tape (NO CD yet) all day long in the showroom. The best part was going to the dealer meeting once a year at the factory in Sarasota. They had tons of boats at the docks for the dealers to take for demo rides....They had a 38' KV just like the Miami Vice boat and a ride on that was awesome

Hey............that same boat was at the SCOPE poker run last week!!!!!!!!!

LOL!! Nort, thats TIGHT!!!

Nort, you are good!

Hmmmmmm..........memories.

This one is different.


MOVIE

Check out those lights on top of the arch.............

Nay, Phantom...

The car was not a Ferrari. It was a Daytona fiberglass kit car on a Vette base. The pic you posted shows it as good as any I've seen. Look closely at:

1) The seats and the way they are sectioned to fold forward (the Italian Stallion's seats I don't think they fold forward at all).

2) Center console (the side-handle '74 - '77 e-brake)

3) Windshield and windshield header (all Vette).

It was still cool, though. I had a '76 Vette and wanted to do the conversion to it - lack of funds stopped me (not lack of good taste).

Miami Vice ruled! I probably still have a pair of white mesh shoes around here somewhere. I was told the black car was a Ferrari on a Vette chassis. I almost cried the episode they blew it up.

McCollinstin - You are 100% right.....it was a Vette. Damn...memories. I'll be honest, Miami Vice was the show that brought me into performance boating ! Wardey

I have a lot of the old shows on VHS. Love to watch them during the off months. Always end up staying up way too late to see the TV shows..... but the are worth it!!!
