Bill Farmer made the 27 Excalibur Speedster. Wellcraft bought the molds in 1985 and also called it a 27 Excalibur Speedster. They only made it for a couple years. Activator Powerboats now has the 27 molds. If your boat is 1984 or older chances are it's a Farmer. 1985 or newer a Wellcraft. Also if your VIN starts with WEL it's a Wellcraft. Looks good, what's the wind screen made of?

84-85 for wellcraft. I think it is 6'6" at the transom. As far as being unsafe, I guess it depends on the driver. Never had any problems.
