40 Excalibur Project with new 650's
 
3 Attachment(s)
Here are a couple pictures of my friends 40 Excalibur. He had over 750 original hours on it, mostly saltwater. The original Merc 400's had never been out of the boat. They actually had to cut one out. The boat then had a new fuel tank installed, repainted the bilge, replaced or rebuilt all running hardware, replaced all hydraulics, etc. The new power is Derebery 540ci 650's. Texoma Marine Gear beefed up the transmissions. We hope the best for the drives. Derebery did a great job on all the new rigging. If CMI will get the tailpipes delivered this one will be on the water.

Original paint! I guess this was the deal back then? The owner of this boat bought my boat new. It was stolen from him in the mid 80's in Sarasota. Insurance bought him this one.
Here is a picture of mine before the redo, the 11:3 ratio should clear up any doubt.

Looks real nice,, after all the boats I have been in, and operated,, theres just something about the feeling you get as one of these giant old school wave crushers start to plane. :drink:

I had a chance to see this boat when they were doing the rigging. Looks real nice.

Sweet, love to see the old Hawks updated. I'll say a prayer for the TRS before I go to bed tonight. My 40FT Formula with 600's likes to chew them up.

Well the stbd drive only made it 8hrs. Boat is getting Konrads. Sounds like I might need some more beans next year.

Hi new to this website. Recently purchased an 82 Excalibur 40ft Hawk. Shipping to West Coast Performance in California for new 700hp motors. Could someone send me a picture showing the entire length of the boat?

TxHawk 05-03-2009 08:40 PM

Pay the money to OSO. Its worth it just for pictures.

TxHawk 08-31-2016 04:56 PM

This boat is for sale. Been in Sarasota on a lift. May have 100 hours on it at the most. Closed cooling was installed when it went South. The owner is moving to a new Yellow Fin 42.

This 40 will make someone a heck of a boat to make trips in. Solid as a rock, runs 75, and has bullet proof drives.

Where is it listed for sale TXHawk? Thanks

TxHawk 09-08-2016 09:29 AM

I am not sure that it is listed yet. Will likely by with a South Florida Broker.
