Yes your right. I never noticed that about the bulkhead. Where the starboard jump seat is on the raider is where the porta potty is on my boat and the port jump seat is where my fridge is. Did they move the porta potty forward under the cushions in the center?

anyone happen to have a list of all episodes that feature the boat? My daughter and I have been watching Vice DVDs every night while we work out. Payback with Zappa is a great one. I love the Scarab III in that episode. Last night was Gods Work with the pink Scarab III.

scarab kv,
my apologies,
i didn't know your friend restored the other boat.
i thought it was restored by/for the present owner who blew you off
sorry about that.

Patrick, only the three top pics in the ad are the 38 interior.
The portal potty was under the helm and moved to the center of the horseshoe and replaced with a wrap around.
This is how my KV cabin looks.
There's another small birth ahead of the mirrored sliders.

Payback and Out Where the Buses Don't Run are my favorites.
Our boat was used for Payback except the end when Zappa jumps off. That was Star 1 (rails missing between intakes)
Star 1 was rigged for cameras on the deck.
God's Work, Baseballs of Death and Kill Shot were good boat episodes with the 87 models.
Our boat was used for Payback, Back in the World and very briefly in Phil the Shill as the stake out boat.
We have frame by frame photo albums of all the KV episodes on our fb page. Each album is titled by episode and season.

It's all good Dan.
The restoration is 15 years old and on it's third owner since Tom had it. We were both a little let down upon seeing it. The bottom of the bilge looked like crap.
Those dash plaques were a dealer installed gimmick.
My boat was bought direct from Abbott and Gilmore and never had a plaque. Star 1 was sold to a dealer in the Chesapeake Bay area, who then sold it to the party that Tom bought it from.
The dash plaque appeared some where in the mix before Tom bought it.

LOL, I just watched Baseballs of Death. I can't believe they kept flashing to shots of the Stinger! The boats don't look anything alike!

We had a GREAT time at the Miami Boat show......hopefully one day we can have a 38KV Vice boat get together in MIAMI.

That would be Super Cool.

not sure if this has been covered but how many Stingers were there and have any actually been located?
