I'm confused, looks like it had a triple egg beater set up but then a single through hall exhaust. Must have been one of Willy's Smuggling rides. :cool-smiley-027:

same thing I said it had triple mercs but what’s the generator flap about lol. I couldn’t pass this project up I can tell it has some history

Update teardown
 
Well today I moved it to storage. And was able to start cleaning out hull by hand as no electricity or water but I am arranging a pressure washing and I’ll bring my generator for the cutting. Once pressure washed I’ll post more pics and will begin the rebuild

More info on hull
 
So I was told by the widows brother that her husband got it brand new custom made in 81 from Excalibur he told them what he wanted based on his commercial fishing in Bahamas. I’m not sure if it’s a one of one but it’s a strong hull for sure.

Awesome project. Could be very nice and worth doing, especially with the popularity of centers these days...

looks like one heck of a project!!!! definitely keep the progress pics coming. only pics i could find on google is a 32' Excalibur. I know my 78 24' Excalibur has the old logo with the sword. Now would be the time to enclose the transom and go with a bracket set up for sure!!!

Updated pressure wash pics
 
So got it pressure washed Needs some sanding and prep on outside for primer and inside will begin cutting transom i really like my motors direct on my transom will be coosa and thick

i was thinking a bracket to have a nice platform to get up from diving but i will look at it when i get back and make decison in Bahamas for a few weeks.

.more than likely a hay hauler with the triple outboards, not a fish boat. rigged numerous triple versions back then in southeast florida. that is the same exalibur centerconsole that chris craft started selling in about 1979-1980 under the excalibur, then scorpion chris craft name. chris craft tooled up a nicer console for it, which a man named gene rapolo came up with, at their bradenton florida plant.
