bullseye though and I'm sure that's why you're restoring your nice Excalibur 31? This is also a 24-degree at the transom design and
with a water tunnel at rest, it's practically stable. The design also has a 'Carolina Flair' and it comes in handy since it often gets mighty
rough and choppy in Scandinavian waters. The inexperienced kids, both young and old, are the ones you see flying them on TikTok.
Take a look at this video and maybe you will see why Scandinavians are still into their old Fjordling boats. It's not just nostalgia, a
skillful driver can really kick some a.. in one of these 17' weapons.

Hi!
You can buy new built ones / or order one to be built for you. Not bad price at all. And add all the goodies you want. I rather do that instead of paying USD 75K....
In my view it's only a matter of time we see a serious accident. Some are rigged really bad, too tall, too sloppy. Other are neat and fast as hell. The nicest one being one with inboard. And proved to be best balanced and fastest.
Very nice design, but it's not a big boat - and you need to rig it wisely. In my view a Merury 2.5 EFI would be great
