Is it the end of the world as we know it when Scarab gives in????? Or is this the logical next step after the Scarab 30?? Were they the original that started the entire center console performance fishing boat craze??????

No....the first production boat made by a new company in 1970 called Cigarette, was a center console 28 with twin 6 cylinder sterndrives.....the boat was bought by a guy called....Bush...HW.

Some cute girlies in the Sonic booth!! "Serious" good luck 2 them!!!

I was telling Paul as we walked around the show, many years ago everyone flocked to the Cigarette booth .....because there were always really beautiful girls hanging around. As the company was sold to one new owner after another, a new thing was happening at the Cigarette booth......yes, there were still beautiful girls there.....but they were hired to be there. Big Difference!

Thank you. You seemed like a nice guy too, except for the crowd that you were hanging around with that day.LOL

Well, Brooks may be a part of a bad crowd, but at least he tried to make up for it by buying our lunches!!!!


You know Brooks will be the big 55 soon? I think that makes him an official part of our old guys group.

Spectre Powerboats were at the show for the first time in awhile. They are getting ready to pull the first new hull from the mold and had purchased an existing boat for the show to get the word out they were back in business.

Their website is spectrepowerboats.com

There were three girls at the Spectre booth in vinyl. On Thursday the sun was pretty hot. They had to be too. Pete got a good shot of two of them.

Ok...Im confused ..there was a spectre and a sonic...did sonic by spectre and spectre bought sonic?? Even trade?? Is it two seperate companies? Is it the same company and sonics are made on even days and spectres on odd days?? This is what happens when you work graveyard shift... thiings get confusing and start running together.
