company is now called Kysor Medallion
Still the coolest boat i ever owned
Believe or not sometimes these boats do hold true to their stories..I doubted the DJ boat over here for many years on certain points but it checked all true.
And Yes DJ used the show boats as he wished, The one in Norway and the One in Finland both are used/given to him that we can agree on but Smacky´s boat is the "Starboat".

A prop boat for Wellcraft but not a 38KV but a 43 DJ signature series, now a side by side would be a tight fit even lengthwise in a 38KV.
I was justabout to ask if anyone knows if Wellcraft made staggered KV´s?

It seems like the boat had surface drives.

The same boat as in the ad ?
A reg 43 Excel with the rather Geekish DJ graphics and the optional interior with the round curves plus Lambos and Arnesons...instead of triple BBC´s..also being slower with Lambos 75vs. 78 mph.

MickyFin,

As for the staggered engine KV question. The answer is yes they did. A friend just sold a Larry Smith KV with staggered big blocks on this site. The Betty Smith Kamma was staggered. They can be identified by the LONG scoops on the engine hatches.

Cheers !

Jim

Yes I know Larry Smith (TEAM) Scarabs were all Staggered and raceboats..but Wellcraft ?
Did they (Wellcraft) make any Kaamas or 38KVs staggered...377 raised decks you could have.

Was your friends boat the ex- Michelob Light or some else racer ?
A bare hull of those would suit fine too....
