Ouch, I can not understand how it is possible to let destroy a boat like that!

I talked by email with shark2 the author of this thread: http://www.offshoreonly.com/forums/e...-question.html

He sent me pictures of his Excalibur 27 'cc. It is the same as my Well. except that my bow where it has a cuddy cabin and the transom who is open.

I'll ask him if I can post 1 or 2 pictures here.

Here is some pictures of shark2's 27' Center Console.
His hull # starts with NAP. It's an 1981 boat.







Thanks to him for these pics and our discussion offline.

Does anyone have a picture of that cool decal with of the 27 excalibur with the sword thru it?

It is a low resolution...

Very cool thread on the history of these boats!

I found this ad on the Detroit Craigslist page today. Does anyone have any information on this boat?

It's been posted and discussed on here somewhere before. Not a bad boat, but "needs engine work" is scary for a 1980's turbo charged boat. You could easily have more into the motors than the boat is worth. But it is a cool piece of offshore history.

Has any one started an Excalibur owners site yet?

I've been involved with 2 Excalibur design boats (1978 hull designs) recently. One is a complete restore which we added triple outboards (3 Suzuki 300DF's) with a swim platform. The owner bought the boat back in 1983 from Don Able. I have pictures of the current restore as well as her sister ship. Both are currently in SW Florida.

Wow. I'd love to chat more about the Excaliburs. I'm currently involved in a beautiful restored 1978 Excalibur in which the owner added triple outboards. The hull is the same. I have many pictures of 2 boats but having a difficult time finding a way to post the pictures. My email address is [email protected]
