The absolute cheapest KV MV I ever saw was the one in Spain that looked like it was in a junkyard and he wanted 15K euros for it with no engines or drives. After 20+ years the Vice paint scheme still seems to get preemo prices. Also, they were well over 100K in the mid 80's for the vice paint. IMO, you can break down and buy a nice running one for 45-55K, or buy a non vice one in fair shape for 30-40K and spend another 20K to paint it. I'd go with option one and have the real collectable! I always did like the flat decks!
The hull seemed to be ok except all the gelcoat on the deck was wasted as was the cockpit and the gauges because of neglect...thats a perfect example of the manyana mentality down there.
Seems it had a moisture problem in the interior at least.
I´m glad I didn´t plunk money on that one..it´s the second project 38KV MV edition that I did let slip by.
A Scarab as a bare hull project can turn into a nightmare when you find out the rotten stringers and transom...
I´ve seen perfect examples to the outside be totally junk.
A good boat well taken care of and stored properly (not outside or in the water) will always command High prices.
I´ve seen a 128hrs on the hourmeters that has been in the water for less than 80hrs (a 1987 KV MV) that was as good as it gets. Always stored indoors and spotless.
It amases me that people still command premium prices from boats that are junk/projects even thou a MV paint scheme looks good, but is a pain to duplicate.
I´ve seen it done once but Id rather not see it done the second time...
