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.

Re: Excalibur 27
 

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

Re: Excalibur 27
 

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.

Re: Excalibur 27
 

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

(BAD LINK)

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.....

Re: Excalibur 27
 

and a few more of it now

Re: Excalibur 27
 

someone asked for an interior pic... our boat is pretty much a hollow hull, but here is the cockpit... This is it for now... I'm posting some of an old cigarette in the cigarette section later

HEY: ERNIE
thanks for posting the pics. your boat looks awsome.
looks way newer than mine,it's still all original except for nose cone on drive and stainless prop.I saw an old thread last night with pictures of your boat and FWK's boat . I wonder how many of those are still around !! I read in that same thread that your hull or stringers were kevlar, how could I tell if mine is ?
I grew up around wooden cruisers and also have a small ski boat, but can't wait until next summer to get my excalibur on some big water.
take it easy Chris.

Overkill 54,
Hey another Ontario boy! I like your boat and actually talked to the dealer in Timmins this past Spring about buying it. He sent me some pics but we couldn't cut a deal. Nice to see that it stayed local and with an OSO guy. It looks to be in great shape without many hours on it. You're going to love running that boat where you are.

Re: Excalibur 27
 

I've seen TopSpin's boat at the ramp, and it's drop-dead gorgeous! :D

Re: Excalibur 27
 

Thanks.... If you see it on the water it won't be me... I have a back problem right now... but say hi to my step dad and mother....

Re: Excalibur 27
 

Sorry to hear that, hope you get better soon. Maybe we'll hook up this summer. BTW: we are TPA members, saw your pics of all of us coming into Offats.
