yes Jet Lag is a great looking boat! He cost me by taking my bow rail off and painting the whole top deck white we are about to paint my fairing white like JetLag!

Old Jet Lag just had a "mid life" redo and touch up. Going to add a new rub rail soon, still looking for a set of race hatches to switch back and forth with the sun pad as needed. Probably repaint the top deck after this season to the original teal/aqua...and then new upholstery on the seats/bench.

I will admit I found a good solid hull that was taken care of....had the boat for 5+ years now and she is been turn key and very enjoyable to own. No regrets! I love the 38KV's!

One nice thing is the fact I found Lil' Bill at Victory Marine who has the experience and previous restoration work on a few 38KV's. I highly recommend the folks at Victory Marine!

yes your boat is mostly all original and very well taken care of. I think i will go the other route and that is a old school race boat theme. large race hatch (maybe 6 pack) and race style dash with full dual gauges across the whole faring. this will be done next year on the offseason. Does Lil Bill still have a KV? what power?

Lil' Bill at Victory Marine redid a 38KV for a customer. The boat looks new! I am sure if you call him he can fill you in on the details (the owner owns the NXS race boat/team) boat is stock 38KV.

Im running mine this week.

I never get tired of looking at a 38KV Scarab.

That boat started a lot of us into the Go Fast Boat world!
