Thanks. I am running with my friend in his 650HP Konrad boat this weekend. I am hoping I can convince him to let it eat so that we can finally see what the Konrads will do.

Any luck with that?

Lots! Unfortunately no speedo. He is turning 26p Bravos at 5300. I would say low to mid 70's. I dont think it is much faster than TRS, but you can lay into it from 3500 and not worry about the drives.

Checked out this Hawk last weekend. Was surprised how original the interior looked. 28 years had an effect on it, but it looked better than what I expected. All the teak looked complete and in pretty good shape too, for anyone that would be interested in keeping it.

The hull looked like Ray Charles gave docking lessons with it. Definitely plenty of dock rash, but just cosmetic stuff from what I could tell.

I hopped on a drive and my friend said it looked like there was some transom flex. Probably a good opportunity to have TxHawk put that new Bravo transom in for someone. :drink:

Overall, the boat looked original and unrestored. I'm sure it'll need TLC from someone that appreciates the old Excaliburs. I'm curious how solid the hull is.

Anyway, there's a brief overview for anyone interested.

Surprised there's no comments out there on this one.

I'm not shopping, personally, but for the sake of discussion, think it's worth $30k w/o a trailer? How about with/without a rotten transom? (I don't know if it is or not.)

I think it's worth the money. Sure it could be bought few thousand less than asking. But my thoughts would be spend $ 20,000.00 more and buy the TxHawk 40 Hawk and be in the water boating as fast as can count the money, and no work. Jon

I completely agree with that statement. Plus, you're on a trailer, so you're only really spending more like $10k-$15k more for TxHawk's boat. Pretty crazy when ya think about it.

Come get it. It is for sale but price is firm.
