1979 excalibur info
 

i just purchased a 1979 excalibur 24' with the original twin 200 blax max's that look like new.the boat has been in storage since 1984.kept inside garage.i cant seem to find anyother outboard models.the boat is in excellent condition,with no stress cracks and only a few scratches.motors were last ran in 2001.and the hydro lines need to be replaced.i payed $6500 for it and given the condition of it i diddent think that was too bad.any info would be great.thanks for your time.frank in daytona.also how do i post pics?

Hey Knarf,
Welcome aboard! Sounds like you got yourself a fun ride there. I believe you have to get a paid membership to be able to post pics. But trust me it's well worth it.

Is this it?

yes thats it thanks. i put the pics in and they dissaperd.i was hoping someone would have some info about these boats.like were to get a windshield .and how many outboard models were made?thanks for taking the time to see my post............

By the looks of it I would say that you got a great deal, good luck with it, nice boat. I think I have an old Powerboat test on that hull with an I/O if you are interested.

shure any info would be great!the guy i got it from said the origanial owner had it custom built with twin outboards,and i havent found another outboard model.thanks for the coments it makes me feel better about the purchase,i stoped working on my 24' jaws,witch i had seen some not so good reports on this web sight about those boats.at least i only paid $300 for it. will make a good storage sheed.but its still a sharp looking hull.

how much for the jaws

I have $395 into the hull,and $600 in a stainless marine transom bracket for singal outboard.i was going to use singial 275 or 300.and i also have a couple of trailers,one alumnum 12,000#-one galvinized 10,000#cap..$1900 each.and its all in edege water.south of daytona beach.if you want some pics e mail me and ill send them,[email protected],

Can't delete this, moved it to another thread.

I would be interested in the hull only. no bracket or trailer. I would appreciate some pics sent to [email protected] or just post them in this thread. thanks

i need some more help,the twin 200 black maxes on my excalibur have serial #'s 5045518-5045520,i called every boat shop around and no one can tell me the year.they say those #,s dont exist.one said they may be special order motors. they say 2000v on them,and i was told they were original motors,but i still want to know,any one?

knarf try Screamandfly.com they are the outboard experts on the web. Hey do you have an email address I can email you at.?

my email is [email protected] i found out my motors are 1978-1979,first year for the black max..speacial order

I've just seen this post (talk about better late than never!) and I'd be very interested in seeing that old Powerboat Magazine test if it's not too much trouble.

It looks like my 1980 24 might finally hit the water in the next couple of weeks.

Thanks very much fobes for faxing that article from Powerboat. It makes for some very interesting reading.

I have finally put together some pics of my 24. The first 3 are from before I owned it. I bought from MrExcal in Feb of 08 and had some engine work done. We finally tested it in August of 08 and found that the fuel tank was leaking and needed to be replaced. It hasn't hit the water yet this season but with any luck it should be done in the next few weeks.

The on water video is from our one and only test session on the James River.
