Excalibur 27
 

Just signed up as a new member. I just purchased a 1982 Excalibur 27 and looking for any pics or info for the same. I saw talk of the 27's on here before I signed up and can't seem to find them anymore.

Only got to try the boat twice since I bought it because of the weather. It's cold up here in Ontario.

Congrats and welcome!
Looks like a nice find... looks great.

Nice boat! What kind of power set up?

Congrats on the boat! :D

Re: Excalibur 27
 

Nice boat, congrats. TopSpin80 has a nice 27 flatdeck like that, im sure he will see this thread.

Re: Excalibur 27
 

It's got a 454 w/TRS Drive 330HP. It needs some TLC and the trailer needs a paint job.

I think it'll be a good winter project. Not sure whether to totally redo it [upholstery & paint] or to detail the original. Alot of people said to leave it original. It's in great condition but it kind of gives away the age.

Any advice would be appreciated.

Re: Excalibur 27
 

Could you post some more pics (interior), those 27 flat decks are nice, good luck: Matt

Re: Excalibur 27
 

Sorry Matt, the boat's out of the garage and in storage for a little while until I get around to it. I didn't take any interior pics yet but when I take it out, I will post them.

I just saw this thread.... and am having some server difficulties, but there are pics of our boat @

I'll scan and post some that I found from when we first got the boat.

picture 1 Dad the first day we brought the boat home... we only ran it a few times before the restore/paint started. Dad had an old standard Chevy junk truck and we races a supercharged mustang pulling the boat home.... we had him until 3rd gear and the mustang ran a light to not be embarassed again by the old junker... the truck motor wasn't a junker... just the body and we were pulling a boat :D

picture 2 begin graphics

pic3 and so on just painting.

I just found these pics last night in a storage box... they have been lost since 1998

the artist that used to do all of our paintwork ... was a good friend... he commited suicide the day we all went and picked out the paint colors for this boat..... so it took us a while to get back to the painting the boat after that.....
