hmmm just noticed that Alīs boat in NJ has two engine hatches hinged to open to the sides.... so thats a telltale of a real early 38KV MV ?

Also--for you Miami VIce Geeks, which episode has the KV in it with NO ARCH and NO ENGINE HATCHES? Yup, a sunpad and NO ARCH!

Bonus points for naming the episode with a KV that has a sunpad and an Arch.

The first one no clue.

The second one:
Thats the boat In Norway but canīt recall the episode.
Owner is a board member by the name John Andre Sohlberg.

OK - finally, thruth has come...need to show it's not only talking!!! Ha Ha :D
My boat is like an virgin...never been touched and I mean really NOTHING was changed or modified when I bought the boat...I was the first one changing the wires and plugs!
No extra holes has been drilled...inside, outside - still it's in total mint condition (thanks for mentioning my boat MikeyFIN).

History:
I bought the boat in Spain 2003, owned by a saudi as previously mentioned.
I didn't believe my eyes when I saw her - she was a 100 times better then I've ever could have imagined.
Brought her home in a truck (unfortunatley the trucking company gave her some skratches on the side during the transport), the boat is kept in my heated shop all year round...but as i said this summer I will put her in water
after 3 years out.
Only modification I've done is removed the original GIL manifolds of and replaced it with GLM aluminum...still has the GIL's on the shelf (nothing wrong with them, only blew a gasket and couldn't get a new one). Let me know what you think of her :D

More will be added...

Nice pics!

I noticed that your throttles are not factory. Did someone change them along the way?

Post some more pics! That bought does look like a VIRIGIN!

I took notice in this when I saw the boat, but the sisterboat (also in Spain) laying in the same yard had the same controls. If you imagine the Kiekafer controlplate this is bigger! - and the panel had no extra holes so ??? I'm sure its been there since birth...maybe these export boats to Spain had this set-up...more pics added...now it's sleepy time here in Scandinavia, good night!

P.S Notice my original cleavers in pic., today I'm using BRAVO propps 24p - turning 4900 RPM
