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.

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

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

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.Last edited by cigdaze; 09-17-2009 at 08:26 AM.

09-17-2009 08:49 AMIt 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.

09-17-2009 09:21 AMIt 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.
