New to me 38 KV
 

I just picked up this boat. Im curious on its history. All I know is it came from Michigan. I was told on another site that this is the old Race Rock pace boat that Bobby Moore owned back when. Its a 1988 38' KV Scarab Merc 420's and TRS Drives.
Here are some pics I took from my shop. If anyone has anymore Info please post Away!!

more pics

Its a great lookin boat just needs some clean up and will be as good as new!!

very nice classic, congratulations........

38 KV's ROCK!!!!

Welcome to the club.....a few guys lurking will soon be joing the KV Club!

very nice kv, if you dont mine me asking what did you pick it up for in the market for an old 38

not an arch fan but really like this old style looking boat.

Nice, keep us posted how she runs!!

Congrats dude! :cool-smiley-011: Enjoy that thing and stay safe.

Nice Good Luck

saw it today. Damn nice boat, looks like she had a pretty charmed life for the most part.

It's so odd seeing an all-white boat.

Wouldn't want one any other way.

cool boat, good luck with her.

all the deck hardware is even painted white.
Its great with it being white, Now Dave has a nice white canvas to practice putting graphics on!!:D

Nice old school ride!
Good luck with it!

Post some shots of the engine bay and rigging. I'll forward them to Bobby and see if he recognizes it.

Where in Michigan did you get the boat? I remember seeing an all white KV for sale a year ago, but not sure if it was the same boat.

Great find, I have seen a lot of these classics boating in LOTO for years and they handle like beasts in the slop. You will enjoy it on a chitty day with the wind out of the North on Lake Michigan. Good luck and enjoy!!!!!!

Those drives look brand new!

very cool old scarab....i would own one again....

Those old Scarab 38's were nice running and well handling boats.

Im going to do some work on it now I ll take some pics and postg them tonight, thanks!

Im not sure it was bought at an auction in toledo, oh they said it came to them from Mi.

Great lookin ride enjoy it !

Love the KV's...Great classy lines that wont ever date. Awesome running boat. A buddy out here has one with staggared big power and #5's on it. Racing bolster set up, no cabin. It's a MONSTER!! He wrenches on it himself. If you need his number for anything I can get it to you.

Congrats Darlin! Big fan of all white ..... old school :cool-smiley-011: Cant wait to see it in person :cool-smiley-026:

Hi Batty, congrats!! If you ever want to sell your arch... Happy boating, cheers, seb

Yes thats Bob's old boat it use to sit on his hoist, on the Black River across from Metro Beach. I may have some pic's, I will look.

If this is Bobby Moores old boat does anyone know what happened to it?? If he sold it It looks like it has been untouched and outside with no cover for the last 10 years.
I recently just out batteries in the boat and fresh fuel in it and the motors fired right up!!! I was amazed I only had them running for a minute or so had no water running through them, but they sound great.

Funny you mention this. Saw an all white 382 Formula at LOTO this weekend. Made the boat look like a 40' + and really stood out.

Congrats on the new ride, Batty!

Congrats on the purchase.

They are superb boat with the most classic lines.

I have a friend that has one with the same setup for sale. PM me if anyone is interested i can get you in touch with him.

Is your friend willing to sell only the arch? cheers, seb

Cool old school boat!

Thanks guys!!! Here are some pics from this weekend I couldnt wait till next year to get here going!! All I did was pump the old gas out and put fresh gas in two new batteries and she fired right up!! some pics runnin.
about 3-4 footers in Lake Erie

Anyone know how fast these should run with the stock 420's and what props are run on these boats??

I think STOCK they go about 55-58 MPH

Mine hit's 75 with MERC 500EFI's and Bravo 1's

The all white is a great look. Have thought about it on my 31 too.
