What happened to the Michelob Light Scarab?

[stillsmoking]

A few years ago the Michelob light Scarab was for sale on one the websites. Whatever happened to the boat? I remember it had a pretty good start to being back on the water.

I believe you are refering to RatMan, he sold it and moved south, way south.
Think the boat went north maybe MI or Il not sure.

Yes that was it. I thought at the time that boat was awesome. I remember the fuel tanks painted like old Michelob Light cans.

Enjoy.

(You'll notice it says the boat is a Cig because they ran Daddy Cool the prior year, the picture is Mich Light).

I figured that someone would have finished it back to a more modern version of the original.

Herbst's old Mr. Terrible is a very similar boat as well right?

I thought someone would have repowered and painted back to the way it was back in the day. I remember the previous owner having a pretty good start.

If we're talking about the same one, Phil Ratcliff, aka Ratman, bought it a few years ago, maybe 2005 or 2006 I can't remember, and he was working on restoring it. He was pretty far along when personal matters interfered. He sold it to a fella somewhere locally I believe, and I have yet to see or hear anything about it since. I saw the boat at Phil's place back then, and it was in pretty fair shape, but certainly needed some attention. New motors were about to go in, glasswork was done to correct damages.
I'd like to see what's going on with it now.

Is that current? Is that the same one I'm thinking about?

A couple more.

It could be. It sat in Brick New Jersey in late '90's. I remember all the gold anodized hardware in it. It was really cool with all the trick little pieces included.

I thought I remembered it further along on the outside when it was sold.

I believe that's correct. Phil bought it from an acquaintance of R'Addiction (John) who lived(s) up in that neck of the woods. Ike was his name I think.

Right. My pics are shortly after it arrived down here. He was almost to the point of dropping in motors when he got rid of it.

[MOBILEMERCMAN]

It was complete less drives and motors. It had all the cables, brackets and hook ups. It must have been '95 '96 when it sat on Mantaloking Rd.

Odd Angle I guess, but I believe this is a sister boat.
