Looks great .I had a 27 Excalibur and with a bravo and a 540 I ran 88. I set the X dimension at 19 should have went a inch higher. Boat looks great congrats .
Here's a video of mine I miss that boat! I like the flat deck better then the speedster which I had and the fact that it is a sit down .good luck with it

I used a lot of your notes to get my setup. Did you have a standard lower? I went with 19.5X and a -1 lower. It looks like yours had some more leverage. I have referred to your build several times when saying how consistent the setup is. 2 30+ yr old boats with very similar setups and nearly identical results. Pretty cool!

Running very flat and more stable in choppy water. We didn't dyno the 540, but I'm guessing it's making 650ish. The most fun part is the acceleration from 55-75. It pulls really hard through there. Thanks for following the build.

Just realized the pictures are back. Finally got to the trailer... last year. The boat looks a runs great. So much so that a good friend at the lake decided he needed it. It didn't go far and I have first shot to buy it back if he sells it.

This was my last good run in it. My wife was in the boat for the first time in 2 years and finally wanted to go fast. Hard to tell from the video but it is hung out pretty well. Don't judge the choppy throttle. I found that quickly getting the nose back down kept it from getting out of shape, especially with a passenger you don't want to scare. I'll miss this one more than the 40'.

No neutral switch. High idle in neutral with dominator, so I try to save on the hard shifts. Dry exhaust but it's wild to watch how easily reversion could happen.

Thanks.

Those Excaliburs are sexy boats, gorgeous! I wish there were more to look at!

That boat is bad ass man. Wish I would of caught a ride before you let it go. I'm sure it won't be the last. Cheers buddy and congrats on the sell.
