Are you sure it's one of the original 100 from the numbers?

[Scarab KV]

Yes it's original. Had a Aqua gel deck.
They're misinformed from the old myths.
Only 33 Vice editions built

$18,025.00 Winning Bid - Are you surprised with no trailer and missing one drive?

[Scarab KV]

Not really. The engines have a reputable build. Don't know how extensive Joe was with refurbishing it. I have some close up shots of it before any work was done. It was pretty rough around the edges. Don't know to what extent was done as far as glass and stringer work. He pretty much regretted changing the scheme from the day it was finished. It was sort of rare as it had the season 5 paint scheme. Most were done with the season 2 scheme

Pretty cool boat. But would be a lot better if it was in the original Vice theme.

[Ratickle]

I have one of the Dumas models of that boat.

Some seriously fugly paint....McDonalds gone wild.

At least it was only a wrap
But the paint underneath wasn't much better

[Scarab KV]

I have one of the Dumas models of that boat.

Have a kit, hardware, railings, hatches, dress kit, etc
Now just need to figure out which paint scheme to build it

I thought it was paint...
That auction gets pretty good prices
Popular around the area
Watched a few other items and all went for more than I would have spent
Plus add a pretty hefty fee for buyer AND seller
Auction does well no matter what

that seems a little steep to me. a friend sent me the link to this last week. they also had a 25' checkmate with no motor in that auction.

Not sure I liked their method of auction time. They kept extending the auction close time until Joe's 18k reserve was met :toetap05:

Yeah, it's a good plan for the sellers. I think that's why they stay busy. If they have a bid, and then someone bids it up at the last minute, the auction doesn't close and every bid has a certain time level for a response. I've never gotten anything I've bid on there. There always seems to be one guy who wants to pay more than me.

Same here

[Scarab KV]

Kind of figured it was a progressive process

[Ratickle]

Have you found out who the proud new owner is?

Wayne must be on the road...

That boat was on Craigslist a couple months ago. I'm pretty sure it was listed for $18k there too.

[Ratickle]

I would have guessed there were more than 33 made. I think they've sold more of them than that in the last several years.....:)
