Black Excalibur Hawk 40 Found
Black Excalibur Hawk 40, Over the years I often wondered what happened to my Black 1984 Excalibur Hawk 40, My Son and I delivered to Lakes Of The Ozarks in the fall of 1993 I asked every now and then on this site and others if anyone knew anything about the boat and nobody did and it seemed to just have vanished. Well it just turned up, apparently has been in that area since we dropped it off. My son called a few days ago and said he found it for sale in that area. I talked to the fellow selling it and he told me boat is in excellent shape been stored in a heated inside storage area for years. One reason I never found it was it had the color changed from all Black to all White. Boat is only Excalibur with a full McLeod cockpit interior, which is how we knew it was ours at one time. Great to see Boat is not sitting in a field somewhere rotting away.

Buying it back? |
No Jeff don't plan on that. With it being only one of two Black 40 Hawks I was surprised that no one ever remembered seeing it at LOTO. Glad its still around.
|
should post pictures.
|
Here is one running along in Lake Michigan, Boat could cruise at 60 MPH With the Big Powerhttps://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.off...6370a1412f.jpg

Used to be a pretty black one with big power in the Tarpon Springs FL area but haven’t seen it in 6 or 8 years. Black with gold stripe and excalibur sword...
|
I wonder if that is Michael Alberts, old 40 he had a 1982 or 1983 Black Hull. Don't remember what was on side.
|
Thought it was an 83 or 84, 700+ per side with 3’s (?) , definitely a drool maker!

Excalibur hawk
over the years I had 12 Excalibur hawks . I had 3 factory black ones . A black one with blue stripes closed deck model and 2 black Center Console's . One with the mercury orange Outboard stripes that Mercury sponsored and the other with blue and white stripes |
Wow, that's a bunch, the closed deck sounds like the Albert Boat. Albert owned Myco Trailer and had a black one I do think it had blue stripe on the side.
|
40' Hawk
that's the only one I didn't cut apart .It went out west and had a pair of 700 hp put in it . The rest of them I cut apart into Fishing boats and island sea taxi's . I did 12 hawks and I think 7-39' Criss Craft Stingers . Same hull different deck . And 5-6 KV Scarabs. . The Flat decks are always so easy to convert . |
Hawk 40
I can't find it now . But I had a picture of all 4 finished hawk40 Center consoles . Side by side . The other 2 where still in the shop and finished by welcraft . I had a couple of the 30' cats also . I had the cat mold's for many years . Excalibur just had a lease on them then welcraft took over the lease for a couple years |
If you find pictures please post that would be great to check out. Your Black Hawk was it a 1982 or 83 with TRS Drives. |
Hawk 40
the 4 center consoles are 1982 the 2 finished at welcraft was 1984 models The black closed deck was either 83 or 84. There was a couple unfinished hawks the went over to welcraft and finished there . The 2 center consoles and I thought 1 or 2 closed deck models . Titled under welcraft not Excalibur. . Then they started making the Eagle 42' same hull different deck . they didn't run very good . |
FastHawk

Wonder if this was my old one. McLeod Boosters would give it away.

I remember riding in the 40 ft hawk it was so smooth on rough water. Was in the early 90s a couple owned it on the gravois arm lake of the Ozarks. They had a huge boa constrictor named Sid, the snake kept cool in the cabin.
