Monogram Scarab KV model kits
From 86-88 Monogram models produced three Scarab KV model kits. The first was the "Miami Vice" kit released in 86. "Splash Dancer" and "Dazzlement" were released as spinoff kits until 88. If you were a fan of the boat, you probably had the kit. Let's see some pics posted of your builds.

DAZZLEMENT is our boat and she's still running in Lake Michigan and in the Gulf of Mexico around Tampa. Monogram approached my husband when they saw DAZZLEMENT in Chicago and asked if they could make a model. We have saved a few models in boxes and have one assembled in a glass case. We'd be interested in knowing if anyone has any models out there. You can see pictures of her and the upgraded engines on our company website at www.atecoengines.com.

The title says it's a 1980, but the entire boat has been upgraded. We took out all of the stringers and bulkheads and reinforced them a few years ago and rearranged the cabin a little. The upholstery has been redone twice and of course the engines are upgraded on a regular basis, since we're in the business. Right now we're running twin ATECO 555's, with 725hp each. We don't try to change the overall look, we just want to keep it fresh. We love that boat. Glad to hear that you have a model of it.

Is your boat a 38KV? or 377? I could not find any pics of the boat?
