Last time I heard it meant Kevlar hull.

Nope tis what most think but is not what it ment

Kamma Vice or Kamma Victory I heard.....after Betty Cooks Kamma where the hull design began.

I believe it was

Kamma Version (after betty Cook Boat )

If the boat you are thinking of in NJ is in Edison, it is'nt a show boat. Thats the one I almost bought until the owner decided not to sell at the last minute. It is a factory edition that came from the west coast. I think in Washington state if I remember correctly, about 5 years ago when he purchased it. Here is a pic of it.....looks great in the pics, but needed tons of work. Lots of little things which really added up. The surveyor figured $10,000 give or take with me doing the work.

We are in MD and the 86 boat we have has been here the whole time. It was purchased in Miami in 7/86. It was last used in 93 when my dad lost interest in it. Luckily he's the kind of guy who can't get rid of anything, and recently decided to bring it back into action.

any pics?

Here in OSO 38Vice has the first Scarab from the series.
So one in Rochester NY is a 87 that would add up to the 5th one then if itīs not Vices boat.

KV stands for Kaama Vice. Straight from the mouth of Gus Anastasia to my ears. 1987 when I ordered mine. It applied to all 38 flat decks of the time span and not just to Kevlar boats or Miami Vice paint jobs.

Seeing Double, where in MD are you located. Have you ever used the boat in the bay? I'm up and down the bay all the time and the only MV type Scarab (well besides mine) that I see is Ray Curtis's with Curtis Propellers on the side.

I was looking into buying that boat but I felt it need too much cosmetic and some mechanical work done to it.
