mistress or kv scarab
If you were "investing" in a classic flat deck which would you choose? I couldn't decide. Both such classics.
ps sorry couldnt figure out how to start a poll opinions appreciated. |
KV Scarab will always be a legend due to Miami Vice. I mean the Miami Vice scarabs are 25+ years old and are still going for $40k+ now. Considering everything costs 4 times as much as it did back in the 80's I would say that hull has done pretty well and dont see any reason why they wont be worth even more as time marches on...

I would vote for the Mistress. Classic boat! And yes, I love the scarab KV's too!

My vote is always the Cigarette. I bet it holds its value better than the Scarab......

Both great hulls. For all out speed down the road, I'd give the nod to the Scarab. They will run with some power. The Mistresses seem to hit a wall.
Start shopping, and go with the one that is the cleanest, well cared for, solid power package, and passes a survey. You'll need to watch for Rot on both models. The 86-88 KV models had some jazzy cabins in them. I'd also look into a 38 Flat Deck cigarette from 1983-1986 if flat decks are your thing. Nothing cooler than a 38KV with factory race style engine hatches with some nice power, IMO. |
KV, the coolest Scarab ever short of Smokin' Joes but get a good survey.

Cigarette or Scarab.............A question I struggle with every weekend.:drink: http://i29.photobucket.com/albums/c2...atkocin019.jpg |
that's probably the most honest answer on OSO - LOL
|
i would go with the KV ha.....go with the boat with the biggest/best power package...you will regret not having enough power in either boat.....i know were their is a KV for sale.....please let me know if your are interested.....PS its not mine! ha
|
I love them both, I have a mistress love the cleaner bow over the KV has the raised center, also almost every KV has the double bolster, I would have to think they both would be near same speeds with equal power...
KV is longer with a great classic look.. Cig is a tad shorter but man they have a look sitting in the water also... I woulkd be torn to what is the cleaner boat at a better price.... or which has bigger power!!!! |
