Re: excalibur hawk and eagle
I have a 1982 Hawk 40. It has twin 454/420hp mercs, Trs drives. It is an awesome riding hull. They also have a 9ft beam, which gives you a little more room than a Cigarette. The cabin doesnt have much headroom, but I do have a head and a fridge and a sink.
The eagle has the same bottom, but has a raised deck and a integrated platform. Much more headroom.
Excalibur Marine built the Hawk in 1982-84. Wellcraft bought them mid year 84 and the quality went down. You really want the "Excalibur" Hawk 40. There is a couple nice ones for sale on boattraderonline.com I paid 25 for my Hawk two months ago with the trailer. The Hawk has a classic look, and they are very unique. Go for the Hawk, it was the offshore boat of the year in 1982 or 83.

My engines are 454/400hp Cyclones with air-gap intakes 750cfm Demon carbs, different cams, and worked over props by Houston propeller....best speed is 63mph in perfect water conditions and 58-59mph anytime, my interior has all been redone in white with a black stripe on the hatch....I'll see if I can find some pic's....Fred
