Miami Vice... were you there?

[Tango]

It's 2019 and I'm having a blast watching all of the Miami Vice episodes on Amazon Prime.

Since I never watched it back in the 1990s and knowing how tight-knit the boating groups are now... I am certain if you had any kind of a fast boat then, EVERYONE had to know who you were, who built the boat and each detail.

Who has the best Miami Vice story?

Miami Vice was one of the most influential pop culture shows of the 80’s and TV in the 80’s had major influence. The show featured movie like production quality with high end props, stunts, special effects, and chart topping music hits some of which were launched through the show. Smugglers blues iirc was Glenn fry’s song and premiered on the show. Phil Collins not only provided some of his biggest hits for the shows soundtrack he also guest starred in the series.

The car phone.... ultimate status of the day

I'm loving the flashbacks to the 80's music and a simpler life.

Sonny's car looks like a kit makeover Corvette wannabe Ferrari but hearing the starter crank up it does sound just like a 365 GTS

[mikesufka]

Great show and definately got me drooling about "cigarette boats" and Ferrari's - not sure i was even in my teens yet but I sure thought they looked cool. I think Saundra Santiago got me interested in women - LOL

I thought I read somewhere that Larry Goldman ( RIP ) was involved in some way also.

Wasn't Wildman one of the stars of the show ??? :cool:

[powerabout]

I had a customer that shipped a 41 Chris Craft Stinger same as was used in the first series I think, over to OZ did about 70mph with 400trs's

[WavetoWave]

I watched that show as a kid, and loved it. Michael Mann went on to become a great director.

Miami Boat Show had a Vice display a few years ago.

How about convincing your buddy to start a thread detailing some of it? I can't recall who it is, but know he's chimed in on several occasions over the years about the experience.

[Tango]

I watched Season 1, Episode 8 where they raced to Bimini and back to Miami. I saw the Cary50 and a Skater with twin outboards that sounded like twin big blocks and was always at the front of the pack!

[FUJIMO]

a lot of bigger name actors got their start on Vice, such as Liam Neeson...https://media.gettyimages.com/photos/when-irish-eyes-are-crying-episode-1-air-date-09261986-pictured-as-picture-id138447827?s=594x594

...if his initials are T.C., please don't bother. his reputation in florida is worthless, which is why he moved out of state to carolina. sorry if you think otherwise. I will say no more.

I had to rig one of these brand new and cutting the transom I was a little hesitant being my first time. only putting 330's in. LMAO it was canadian powerboat mags. first flagship! 400cyclones would have been a much better option for a few bucks more!

[powerabout]

330 was a house boat engine

[FUJIMO]

majority were Mercruiser 370/TRS packages, with a sprinkling of 400 packages.

One of the original of the two Testarossas in season 2. The bad paint job and everything. This was in Miami a few years ago.
