The two of them in the boat is the icon for the image.

JB Jones was the man in charge of rigging for stunts. His son took over the business, I heard JB retired. We loaned them a 83 911SC Convertible that belonged to a customer for a scene outside of the Elbow Room. Don was also a customer. He lived on Star Island and had a 84 Carrera wide body Convertible, Pearl White with Blue Leather interior. License tag read "PEARL". Car was beautiful. He also had a white Chevy Dually with all sorts of side gingerbread and spoilers. Could be seen regularly at B-Bracket when they were in Pembroke Park.
The show was a do not miss for me. I could relate to all drug smugglers they chased, just like my customers.

Lilabner I met an Fwc officer that said he boat raced against Don was he really a racer any good? Also good to see you posting. thanks

A filmographer, Will Williams, shows up at our local car shows...

Tower Shoppes, or?

I want that Talon badly. I wonder if it still exists. Nothing looks as cool as that.

A buddy of mine up here has one that's (was..it's been wrapped or painted) the same colour that came from Utah with a pair of Promax's....I've always thought it is that boat but I'm sure there was more than one in grey...

I couldn't tell you. I had quit the racing scene. Don had a race boat and tried out some different races. I don't think he raced very long. He had the ambition and desire to race, and he tried. It's a fickle sport. Give him credit for putting on a good show.

Tower Shoppes, or?

He has been at Hollywood Blvd and Wild West Gentlemans Club lately. I didn't see him at Hollywood today. There are a lot of shows around every weekend. Tower Shops is no more. They moved to Ruby Tuesday at Hiatus and Rt 84.

Does anyone around Miami remember the name of the TV show someone was trying to start up in Miami, with the Charles Deering Estate as the hideout? It was before Hurricane Andrew I'm pretty sure, and they used a "stealth" black cat with V8 outboards hidden inside the boat. My buddy was the OMC rep and was tasked with helping them solve some impossible problems. I think it was a bust before it got too far along.

[PARKER RABE]

I remember that had a 35 rabco they used also, can't remember what scene, blue and white boat.

John Bosa, a customer and Dolphin player, bought one of the Miami Vice Scarabs. I used to meet him at Le Tub or Flicker Light....

Attachment 317465I found this looking through some old boat pics. I remember Don Johnson had his hands full with that Action that day! Anyone old enough like me to remember Miami Vice?

Very cool photo and well before my time but what year would this picture have been?

If I'm not mistaken, Yamaha entered the US market in 1984 with the "220 V6 Special" which made about 240 and was a screamer. Full production was available to US dealers in 1985.

I was living in Key West when it was current. Never missed a show. Remember when Tubbs became a Zombie?

[Scream And Fly]

Greg, I believe that episode was filmed in 1986.

Gotcha. Thanks Butch.
