Wellcraft Excalibur hull vents
 

Hi guys. I’m looking for a source or ideas for the replacement of the side hull engine compartment vent covers for my 2000 Wellcraft Excalibur cuddy. I saw some older posts where guys were looking to have these plastic covers made from laser cut powder coated aluminum but the threads didn’t have details. Thanks, Curtis

Can you post pics of what you are talking about?

Unfortunately I can’t post pics until I’ve reached a post quota which I’m just short of. I’ll try again.

I still can’t upload pics yet but should be able to soon. I can send to an email if you can give one on here.

Last post and then I can upload pics.

Those are much different than mine. Wish I could help you as I have made two sets made out of sheet metal and powder coated them.

Thank you for reaching out regardless.

Mine are a much different style. Have you tried posting in a Buy/Sell parts section?

If you don't mind changing from original, why not Fabricate your own design?

I’m up to all ideas to get it replaced. Would like to stick with the original but I’m not opposed to alternative design ideas. Good idea on the parts section suggestion. I have it posted in a couple of forums but not that one.

Do you have one of the vents? I know a good fiberglass fabricator could make a mold and create new ones fairly easily, but you'll definitely be putting some money into it. Or.....if you have somebody with a big enough 3d scanner and printer, you could print new ones (use ABS), keep the file, and use as needed or share with others who might need the part.
