Greetings all, new guy here, first post. . . Sorry, I am not allowed to post the links or pics until ten posts, 9 to go. . .

On the block in Palm Beach April 16 -18 2026, just visit the Barret- Jackson Auction web site, she looks amazing.

Larry Smith designed what many enthusiasts consider his crowning achievement, the 1985 Tom Gentry Turbo Eagle 46' Scarab. It was commissioned by visionary racer and engineer Tom Gentry, known as “The Fastest Man in Offshore,” as part of his relentless campaign to push the boundaries of speed, technology and spectacle far beyond their respective limits. Originally designed and built to compete in the demanding Miami to New York Endurance Race, its long and sleek, narrow-beam hull was optimized for speed, stability and wave-cutting performance in rough open water. Lightweight composite construction, typical of the late 1980s offshore racing era, masterfully balanced strength with agility. Its sound design was confirmed when this boat won the 1988 APBA Superboat Class World Championship for the Tom Gentry team, driven by actor and racer Don Johnson, with Bill Sirois on the throttles and Gus Anastasi as the navigator.

All 3600 HP and 46' will be auctioned off this weekend, should be bad ass to watch this monster cross the block getting the notoriety it deserves !

Selling at no reserve too, so should be very interesting to watch! Will it fetch more than the $400k that Warpath brought on Bring-a-Trailer back in late 2021??

Excuse me....I need to run out and buy a handful of lottery tickets.

Padraig

ditto on lottery tickets
thats one big boat,
wonder if it will become a museum piece ?
that much in restoration i would be wary of it being damaged or some lookie looooo running into i

It did the Museum thing it was built to run not set and be looked at. Come on down and check it out I'll be there to see it happen.

i was at the auction on Friday……. What a historic restoration !!

That is a beautiful boat -- someone got a screaming deal on the boat and the trailer....

I was there today also…. before-during-after auction. I was an observer with the Gentry ….. I’ll leave it at that.
