Just Once, if I could squeeze yours into my budget, I'd be on it.
I spoke to the person on the phone who was high bidder. He said he made offer to the seller, and was going to check it out. He did win the auction, so he bought the boat, in theory, anyway. He works at a marina in NY somewhere. Maybe he will fix it up. I wish him the best. He also said he had joined OSO shortly before the boat was up for sale. Someone in his area had turned him on to OSO. We'll see if he ever posts.

Word of warning. I retored a '76 Excalibur 24. Light and fast with 470hp BBC and Bravo - actual 78-80mph, but built like a '76 jet boat. Stringers to small and no real bulkheads!! It started to come apart running in the chesapeake bay. I used up 14 gallons of epoxy resin beefing that thing up for serious water - real bulkheads and larger stringers etc (positive note: the hull and deck were glassed together at the factory) Too much work, never again. the late 70's boats I've seen looked like they were built a little better.

David: if I could squeeze it into my budget I'd keep it. :D
HT27: yes the late 70's like mine are alot heavier. Slower, but solid. with about 470 h.p. my 79 would run 68-70. :cool:
