I had a chance to talk with Larry for a bit in Santa Barbara a few months ago during a GM Photo shoot. He was explaining adding longevity to the offshore boats. Considering the cost of gas power these days you can get a big Diesel. It can run about six times the life of gas and give similar torque. His new 48 at Archer is just that. For those of you that saw it at SEEMA it is truly the future of Offshore Boating. 70mph Fly by wire. There are two cables going from the helm to the engine compartment. Everything else is run buy wire. Mild lines and a large cabin. This boat will reopen American glass in the Euro market and hopefully be just as large over here. Hopefully people will buy more Offshore boats due to the introduction of this reliability. I know many other manufacturers have offered diesel power in the past. But I cannot think of too many Go-Fast Boats built on the premise of reliability. I wish Larry and Scarab all the best of luck in the future.

Bad habit is a sweet boat, very similar to the 38ft kv. It has been at a boat shop in St. Charles Mo. for awhile. The boat was missing a portion of its hull (the starboard side of the cockpit). It has since been repaired. It still features the same graphics. Unfortunatley it doesnt look as if the boat will be complete for this season, because it has been stripped of everything down to the bare hull. But it would be cool to see that scarab racing around the LOTO again.
