Great plot and our boat was used for all the scenes, except when Frank Zappa jumps off the stern.
That was done with Star 1

For anyone who might be interested, here's a link to the fb page for the Vice Scarabs that I co manage.
We developed it to track the boats as a registry and put buyers and sellers together. There are photo albums for individual boats, show clips by episodes, media, a recent Glass Dave restoration, etc

We also have a website to register all KVs.
If you know of any, let me know

Three for sure.
Ours, Star 1 and the season 5 boat that was abandoned in Miami. There's a boat rotting away in Oahu that has the proper hull stripe from the show and season 5 deck stripe, but can't confirm if it has race hatches or padded hatch.
If it had a padded Hatch, it would've been Don's loaner that was used in "Like a Hurricane" when he and Sheena slid across the hatch into the boat. Only time a boat ever appeared on screen with registration numbers.
A friend of mine worked for the original guy in the islands who bought it from the show, but he couldn't remember details about the hatch.
One way or the other, it seen screen time.
I'm chasing a lead on one I was told about at Volo.
If it's legit, it could be one of the 87's from season 3/4.
Neither are accounted for.

does anyone know what happened to the Stingers used in the pilot episode and then season 1? How cool would it be to own an original show used Scarab AND a Stinger!! All this MV talk make me break out the DVDs last night! I also bought a Smith & Wesson 4506 which is the gun Crockett carried in Season 5. The Bren 10 is very hard to come by though!

You can see the grab rails on the engine hatches on Star 2 that are not there on Star 1 in the pic with Frank at the back of the boat. So cool.

Wife has been good humored to this point.
No need to push my luck
One of the Stingers is in upstate NY.
No idea on the rest. There were five total including the pilot boat
