Identify this classic boat
Hey guys,
Was going through some old pics with my Pops the other day and stumbled upon this picture.
Name of the boat was "Crazy Lady"
Wanted to see if you could identify what kind of boat this was from the pic.

might be wrong but it looks like Don Able's Excalibur. Bill Farmer (owner of Excalibur at the time) was my next door neighbor and if I remember right Don's was the only all black one they built.

that is likely the same boat. Don was the plant manager at Excalibur and they built it special for him. it looked beautiful but by 10am the heat coming off it was tremendous. they had it at the Chris Craft dealer meeting that year as Excalibur was building some hulls for Chris Craft at the time. My dad was VP of Chris Craft so we worked back and forth some with Excalibur.
