Wonder if that’s Scarab designer/builder Lance Reventlow at the wheel?

The pic was apparently from a 2005 vintage race, so who knows how old Lance would have been?

Helped being a Revlon heir to build such sweet toys.

Looks like an image of a swan in the water.

The snow in New York City may seriously reduce the turnout in today’s election. Apparently the Democrats have an edge in the early voting. The weather should be better in the afternoon. The Republican candidate is named Pilip.

She the girl…was arguably more fun and better constructed

Scarab import boats were shoddy honestly

Chopper gun and screw in deck

I ran 3 EFIs which would push her to 90 or maybe even 100

But in seas she’d start unraveling

I sold her cheap and got a formula 37 needle nose with twin inboards

Twin 500hp Bravo inboards

She’d push around same speed

Much much better built boat

Dream boat was midnight 37 with four EFIs

Best made boat of that era in my view

Boat maker went to the joint sorta slowed the manufacturing

Thunder boat row era

Miami was a great scoot around place

You could lunch in Bimini from Govt Cut or Haulover in an hour in glass seas

Half the time Nobody in Bimini even logged u

Nice lunch head flat out back

About a mile a gallon lol

It’s a truly beautiful environment to have 5-6 million living on the strip tween swamp and sea

Maybe cleanest prettiest place like that on earth

Hong Kong is not as clean

Sydney and Melbourne maybe

I recall seeing those called “cigarette boats”. I was always curious how the name originated.

Rumrunners from Cuba called cigar boats

Maybe

I barely missed Aronow murder

Just been on the street for parts

An hour earlier

Or so

Jews killing Jews

Kramer was nuts honestly

I hope she wins—but she would then have to run again in November. Her Democrat opponent held the seat previously.

Yeah, you be the TV generation.

I bet you just love the current CGI movies that I find unwatchable.

FWIW, I did like MV and have it all on DVD.
I liked the Bren-10 most.

So ... not a 2,800 year-old bug ...

That would really have been something.

A 2,800 year-old rock?

Meh.
