old school performance??? super boat - excalibur - cobra ? whos got em
i am always looking for these boats when im out, i have a 76 excalibur 26' berkley jet, down at llyods creek almost every weekend in the summer, its currently under complete restoration. but you dont see many of these style old boats so if you have one let me know... i want to see some pictures too. ill try to post the restoration process, but we will be down at llyods creek this weekend in the baha cruiser, all white no decals feel free to stop by (plenty of corona)!

I have a 76 superboat. I boat up on the C & D area visiting friends in the Elk River. I get to llyod's creek every once in a while. Looks newer because of the paint job but it is an oldie.

some before and afters
okay, so obviously from the pictures you can tell why im redoing the engine compartment. so i went all out it was going to be supercharged, but because of the jet drive the motor sits too far foward and is literally stuffed underneath the seat. so i went big, the pictures dont even have all the new stuff on it yet. the entire motor was powdercoated candy wrinkle blue, and silver chrome... i tore it down to nothing and rebuilt the entire thing myself, all the engine work, porting, tuning, and fab... it should be somewhere around 450- 475... but its a jetdrive so im just trying to look good and sound rowdy... it should turn some heads i can post more pictures if you want... heres a few for now

dave, that thing is gorgeous, it looks like we have the same exact hull... im trying to convince my dad to buy a 77 24ft cobra, its on craigslist in philly, but it looks pretty close to your boat, not quite as nice though, what power are you running in that... the one he is looking at has a sb 400 with about 480hp, but it has an alpha one on it... i dont think it would be up to the stress, thats the only downfall...
that sonic is nasty looking too-
