27 Excalibur ~ Congrats TxHawk
 

Post up some pix buddy. Very happy for ya:coolcowboy:

Back again...
Said I wanted a Flat Deck 27 when the Hawk 40 went away. 5 years later, I brought one home. Supposedly a 2 owner boat. Doesn't matter, pretty clean and ready for updates. Plans are TBD as it runs okay as is.

Congrats Matt! How's the interior?

Interior is useable but original. I doubt the boat stays together long. I want to set it up with low buckets and console. The dash is pretty cool for its day, hate to cut that up too early. Needs a windshield and I would really like to find an affordable frameless option.

Likely go with a high bravo and 500-600hp. The idea of a thumper and SSM V sounds wildly fun. We'll see how the parts availability and $$ mindset evolves.

Research continues...

Tried to buy that boat but the seller wouldnt ever give me any info, looks nice.

It was a weird deal. It needs work but runs. I had watched it for a year or 2 as well as the other that was on CL now and then in Baytown. Both had difficult to contact owners.

congrads on the find
about 2 yrs ago 1 popped up on CL in clear lake area
was hard to contact and finally talked and didn't have a clear title in their name
was still registered to some 1 in olk I think
is this the same boat?
never went to look at it when was told of the title issue

I saw that one too. The add disappeared and I drove storage units in the area and found it. Talked to seller through help of storage owner. That one was pretty rough, owner was away on long vacation (jail) and GF was selling the boat.

yea that was the 1,,,,
she told me same thing and title wasn't transferred before he went away I ran,,,,lol
but definitely was worth the wait as that 1 looks nice

Hey Matt! Good to see you back in the game. Very cool boat you found. Keep the updates coming. You have an engine in mind? With your bank account building for the last 5 years, Im sure this is going to be a cool ride!
