Stinger390X Posted September 22, 2008 Report Share Posted September 22, 2008 One of the best episodes for season one is "The Great McCarthy"It has the boat race in it that circles Miami which portions are used in the beginning credits of the show as well for seasons 2-5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonny-Burnett Posted September 22, 2008 Report Share Posted September 22, 2008 Thanks Stinger. I remember the ep. Is that the Stinger and how close does it resemble the one you apparently have? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stinger390X Posted September 23, 2008 Report Share Posted September 23, 2008 Thanks Stinger. I remember the ep. Is that the Stinger and how close does it resemble the one you apparently have?The ABSOLUTE twin to the one in the show in every manner such as paint and interior etc.' date=' however mine has an additional feature as I have a swim platform on the back and the boat in the show does not.Mine also has upgrades on the throttles and shifters as there are closups of the dash when Sonny is pushing the throttles forward. Those were the old twin sticks from the eighties but I had mine replaced with separate shifters for the velvet drive transmissions so I have four levers - two short ones for shifters and two tall ones for throttles.Much better and far superior setup than the old school method.[img']http://i113.photobucket.com/albums/n202/ve3lt/mv7e1.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stinger390X Posted September 28, 2008 Report Share Posted September 28, 2008 I can't take the credit for these.The ACTUAL boat was posted somewhere on MV.org (the other site) some time ago and I remember seeing them so I copied the pics. I can't remember exactly where they are located but you could find them. There are lots of pics of the original boat inside and out and it's sad to say but it has seen better days...My boat has aged very gracefully where as the original boat has a few bruises.Take a look at the .org site and do a search. You should be able to find it.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stinger390X Posted December 30, 2008 Report Share Posted December 30, 2008 Great Vid Jim. I have to get my friend out with his camera. He promised me this past summer he would do it, but one thing led to another........you know?Next summer I will definitely have to get some good video of the Stinger.By the way, tomorrow I am looking at a Ford F-600 for a hauler. Its a fixer-upper but I hope to have it ready for the Thousand Island poker run. I hope we can get together in Brockville and do a cruise in together like I suggested during the Poker Run. It should turn a few heads and hopefully get on TSN (or Canadian Sports network)Catch you later .......... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jcm8002204 Posted January 13, 2009 Report Share Posted January 13, 2009 Camera Boat Used IN the Show ?Twin yes, but here is another 'real' one posted...Not a MV Edition, but the claimed to be the original camera boat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stinger390X Posted January 14, 2009 Report Share Posted January 14, 2009 Yes that is the actual boat used in season 2-3 I think? My friend Jim owns it and I hope we can get together this coming summer with our boats at the Thousand Island Poker Run.I had a short chat with Jim on the web here and he told me a bit about the boat. It IS the actual boat used and is documented. Mine however is just a copy.Don't forget they used many boats in MV but the main ones were the two main boats...Stinger 390X season one, and then the Wellcraft Scarab KV for the rest of the series.The pilot episode had another Stinger in it but it was an 1984 model with a different paint scheme.

jcm8002204 Posted January 22, 2009 Report Share Posted January 22, 2009 Miami Vice 'Edition'...here is the 'claimed' real McCoy:A recent late summer post (Aug 2008) showed what surely looks like the 'real' Scarab tooling around Erie, just off of Toledo area. Owned by some folks in the Findley OH area... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cigarette Posted January 27, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2009 I actually have a picture of the original boat that DJ actually drove. Here is the dash of that boat.I have all the photos from this boat taht was out on "ticpic". I talked to a man who was going to buy it and it was in crap condition. Also it is not the boat that was used. Many things that was wrong- I talked to the owner and suddenly he said it was same type of model as the one used in MV Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cigarette Posted April 7, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 7, 2014 The fir st St.Vitus from season 1 was sold for 110000usd in 1985. A new one was leased for the other seasons: http://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=950&dat=19850824&id=8WxQAAAAIBAJ&sjid=9FkDAAAAIBAJ&pg=5272,2117044 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stinger390X Posted April 8, 2014 Report Share Posted April 8, 2014 (edited) The first St.Vitus from season 1 was sold for 110000usd in 1985. A new one was leased for the other seasons: http://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=950&dat=19850824&id=8WxQAAAAIBAJ&sjid=9FkDAAAAIBAJ&pg=5272,2117044Cool story. Wonder where it is now?I was looking at a used Endeavour a couple of years ago and it was in mint condition and still 95 grand asking price!There were only very limited numbers of 42 foots for sale, if I remember correctly it was 66 built or something like that, so they are a rare boat for sure!We have a smaller 36 here in our marina. It's a nice boat and the owner wants to sell it but it is a far cry from the 42. The 42 had a centre console with the big wheel for steering. The little 36 here in our marina has a tiller and the cabin is very small. If you remember the show, the cabin when Sonny was living on the boat was a pretty decent size!
