In March, 1989 - 30 years ago, I rode in a 10 meter wellcraft a few times - around Boca...our intrepid Captain after making that elbow turn coming in at the Boca Raton inlet, encouraged a Captain just ahead to Rev up his large Bette Davis in front. After a few moments, Captain Eli told us to brace ourselves. We raced up behind that Bette, pealed off starboard, and wake jumped at about 50 Mph, - jumped a 3 foot wake - you could hear those Merc out drive propellers whine!! Later after docking, the marine police in a grey boat slowly cruised by on the intracoastal near our berth ..." Tell your Captain to pay us a visit!"
Those are there were four original Miami Vice boats all the same and everything that's what people don't seem to understand they had four boats for that show.
I went on the Miami Vice boat in 1987 at a boat show in Clearwater Florida off US-19, Don't remember the event it was, However Vinny Testaverde from the tampa Bay Buccaneers was on the boat for some reason signing autographs on tinny footballs lol , Anyway I stopped in to see the boat and got on it because my wife at the time was a Vinny fan and I could get that signed tinny football for her .... I shook his hand and left. Told my wife about it when I got home she was upset and told me "you ass"
I saw that boat when it was sitting at a shop in MD i took my buddy's warlock down and the scarab was there. i should have bought it. it was in rough shape
Those were the days. Best days of my life. A wife and three girlfriends.
Sad shame the prior owner let it get in such horrible shape glad your able to rebuild her and bring back a legend !
80S WILL ALWAYS RULE

You're having way to much fun.....damnit!
Did she say sonny and Crockett? Lol
Yes, it's a canook thing I think? Poor thing, Tubbs & Crockett just has a more pleasant ring to it, like Scarab baby, or Wellcraft!
God, they talk funny.
"woooooooooordurrr"
$125k. What a deal.
OMG yes its the Miami vice one wow :D
125 kilo meters per hour is about 60 mph! 😂
anyone can build that boat and post it on you tube
1997 percent of the workforce is done
It's a fn joke like chad scott
Maybe but your the last 3 percent of the dea
Awesome!! And I officially hate Gary!!
