New to me 24!
 

Picked up a 1978 24’ Excalibur hull out of Maryland last month and brought her back to NC on the coast! Plan to start on it this winter when I knock out some other projects I have. Goals are to convert it to sit down and set it up somewhat for a poker run/class 6 boat with some mild power, maybe 550-600 depending on what I come across when I get to that point and a bravo one set up. Anyone have any pics where people have done some helm/dash set ups with sit down seats?

Excalibur
 

Sweet boat, actually went and looked at this boat a few months ago.. really solid boat for its age regret not picking her up.. was wondering if someone on here or a Facebook group classic offshore got it.. got my answer.. good luck with her

I was impressed of the condition for the price!!, Transom has a spot or two but its not that bad, But i plan to redo it for a bravo and raise the x dimension anyways

Good luck with the build, its a process but at the end worth it.

thanks! Now that our weather here is starting to cool off, just have a few things to finish for a few customers and I plan to jump right on it. Just picked up a Bravo one assembly that came with a basic 330hp 454, Going to weight my options if i want to build that or get something with a little more cubic inches.

Just picked up my own 24' Have you gotten anywhere on your project? I really want to redo the helm station as it's not great for gauges in it's current set up. Any more pics of the original stainless trim? I am looking for replacements for all of my black trim.

Thanks!

So far just unrigged and started gutting it. Hoping to get a big jump on it after i get my new building put up.

Checking in a few months later, any progress? Mine has been sitting most of the summer....

Thinking of buying a 1977 hull. To all you excalibur 24 owners what are the main things to look for with these hulls? She has a stock 454 with no mods. What kind of performance will I see with this setup?

I've gotten 67 on GPS with a bone stock 454 330hp. 3 blade prop 23 pitch.

I haven't had a chance to get far on it. Finally got my new shop up a few weeks ago. In the process of getting all the materials together to knock out the electric. Im itching to dive into the Excalibur though. Not sure how much i'll get done on it this year though because im fighting the temptation to order a New v8 merc for my 24x7 Jaws center console. Would love to just find a decent deal on on a newer 250 pro xs two stroke but not having up luck.
