Awesome!

What year is your KV?

I don't know exactly, but I'm quiet sure i'ts 1985...

Jonas, check your VIN. The year is in the numbers. Will be the last two numbers.

beautiful job of rigging - very nice equipment - jeff

[QUOTE=38KV;2711182]Here's mine. Located in Stockholm, Sweden.

I bought it almost 6 years ago with 454/420's and TRS's, but re-rigged last year with 598/750's and SSM#VI's.


Very nice looking KV....nice job on the repower and rerig! I have watched some of your videos on Youtube. Who built your engines over there?

I know, Wayne. But my VIN# is slightly damaged due to a previous paint job, so these digits are almost impossible to read..



Thanks a lot! http://www.northoffshore.com/notworthy.gif




I do. That’s what I do for living.

But my own 598’s are basically a pair of Tyler Crockett-motors that I bought used (with 30 hours) two years ago.
The idea was to tear them down for overhaul as soon as I got them, but I had to us them “as it” last year because of the 2 month late delivery.
The motors ran pretty good for 20 more hours, but the season 2007 ended in a fried crankshaft as a result of mismatching oil pump driveshaft geometry. http://www.northoffshore.com/sad.gif

It’s very aggravating when a broken $20 drive shaft causes $5000 expenses in new crank, rods, pistons, etc... http://www.northoffshore.com/glare.gif

So, I did a total rebuild of both engines this year. And also a couple of changes.
Most of the internal parts were just excellent, but I wasn’t too happy with some minor things. Mostly in the valve train, and on the ignition side.

The 598’s are now top notch, and I’m very happy with them today! http://www.northoffshore.com/thumbsup.gif



Here are some pics from the rebuild.

A few more..

Just checking in, scarab kv............. the dash I rebuilt were the original holes that were in the boat, no change there, just new gauges. You are right with the sign, I did pattern mine after bill taylors. Did a nice job I think. Hey Jim , Looks like you are having fun with that boat. Still looking for my plates though! Keep the pics coming, still looking for that special 43.

Hey Tom, you did a great job with the whole boat!!
BTW...I wouldn't get your hopes up too high for those plates. Jim doesn't always play well with others. :D
