31 excalibur powerboat test
 

Excalibur is a great boat. I once owned a 31 1979. I have an original 1979 powerboat magazine with the performance test on the 31 excalibur. It was a great write up. If anyone would like a copy of the article post it here and I would be happy to send it to you.

id like a copy. what do you need.

Any one have the 82' or 83' issue where the 40' was offshore boat of the year. The actual test boat was mine and id love to find a copy.

id like a copy I have a 1979 31 also

Re: 31 excalibur powerboat test
 

That info sounds great. I would like a copy as well, just let me know what you need. That one powerboat magazine with the excalibur cover shot would be a great thing to obtain, maybe the people at powerboat magazine would know of how to go about getting it, did you try them yet matt, I might put that on my to do list for today.

Re: 31 excalibur powerboat test
 

I called them. I have the march and may '82 with the excalibur hawk 40 on the cover and then as offshore boat of the year.

Re: 31 excalibur powerboat test
 

Matt, were March and May the ones you wanted, or is there another one also? I'd love to get my hands on some of those if there were any forsale, or even copies.
P.S. While doing some Research I found the original Article 25' Executioner/Excalibur Collaboration boat that Reggie Fountain tested or drove, might be of some interest to some of the other Excab guys out there, Search Ebay and type Excalibur Boat,, the ad should pop up 6/16/05.

Re: 31 excalibur powerboat test
 

i currently own a 32' executioner. the boat was made at the excalibur plant in late 1980. the original (1979) hull was designed by J.C. Simon and later modified and patented by Reggie Fountain hence the birth of Fountain powerboats!!! My executioner was originally rigged with twin turbo 454's and merc ssm #2's. i re powered a couple of years ago with a pair of 900sc's and merc ssm 3a's. This boat, after Reggie got his paws on it, became legendary in offshore racing performance, and was considered to be years ahead of its' time. to this day, some 26 years later, i'm still kicking major BUT!!! with it, as the boat will run in the triple digit's at will, in pretty much any kind of water conditions (within reason). As you, the reader can tell, I'm very much in love with my boat. Why else would I sink such a ridiculous amount of time and money in a 26 year old vessel?? In closing, i'd like to tip my hat to the man who, in my opinion, made the sport of offshore racing what it is today!! To Reggie Fountain, you are THE MAN!!!

Re: 31 excalibur powerboat test
 

Finally- somebody said it! Reggie is the man. Congrats on your excalibur. Sounds like a sweet ride.
