Miami Vice selected as theme for the 2016 Miami Boat Show

Miami Vice at the Miami International Boat Show this year.
The opening credits music is the selected theme for the show along with the #1 Scarab and Daytona on display.

We were contacted through our Vice Scarab fb page last August by a firm out of Indy that was looking to locate one of the original boats to be on display at the show.
I put them in touch with the current owner of the boat at the time, who didn't show much interest. What I wasn't aware of at the time, was he had a pending sale on the boat in progress.

The new owner is displaying the boat along with his Daytona, which he recently purchased from JN

I'm in WY right now headed to TX. Too bad I am working as I would have liked to see that!

I missed the Toronto Boat show this year but I heard from friends that it was the same old....same old.

 

I would love to get down to the Miami show someday.

My buddy drove the Neptunis down for sale there. It will be the 72' footer. They are built right across from my Marina in St.Catharines but are shipped down for the show as they sell better there because of course there is the largest market!

Here are a couple of examples of Neptunis right across from my boats.

I wonder if she ever kept her Scarab? She was one of three stars who accepted one from Wellcraft

Interesting. The author makes it sound as though he has one of the show cars. though this is JN's car, I believe.

"Martino went out and bought the original Vice fast boat," said one analyst.  "He bought the Vice Ferrari, secured original Vice cast member Olivia Brown and is in discussion with the other cast members to bring them back.  Nobody's has ever gotten this far."  And he is the "number one Vice fan"?

Still it is cool to have a replica Daytona and one of the original Scarabs there at the same time with one of the actual cast members. Looking forward to seeing pics of the boat show.

Why am I having such a hard time remembering an episode with Trudy in the Scarab?  There's gotta be one. Or maybe there isn't.

Just so damn cool...I wish I could get down to the boat show.

Trudy is briefly seen in the Scarab in the episode "Missing Hours" with Tubbs, Chris Rock (Carson) and Crockett. Towards the ending right before the houseboat explodes from where she was rescued by Tubbs and Crockett. I believe that's the only episode with Trudy in the Scarab. :)

Although it wasen't the same Scarab boat as the one at the Miami boat show. It was Scarab boat 3. According to miami vice.wikia: "Starting with Season 4, a third boat was introduced that had several more obvious differences when compared to boats one and two, namely a silver hull below the waterline (as opposed to white) and a pair of double searchlights fitted on top of the arch."

Almost thirty years since the show Miami Vice ended......The boat, the replica Daytona and with Olivia Brown "Trudy". It's incredible!

Love the pics! Thank you for sharing with us Scarab KV from the boat show. :cool:

Even though it's not the car that was used on Miami Vice, had to add that I still think the whole event is great!!!

I must admit for me the whole (car issue) made me confused, even from reading the Thread - The Ferrari Daytonas of Miami Vice.
