The person that had it before me put a Gill Bracket on the boat w/an Outboard. I took it off. Look closer there is a pic of the engine compartment behind the rear bench seat. Everthing is off the boat and there is nothing in the engine compartment. IT'S AN I/O BOAT NOT AN OUTBOARD. THERE IS NO SPLASHWELL.........

75 Excalibur. You are up in Brick, I take it. I know the area sort of, been there a few times anyway. I will make arrangements to look at it with you. I have a couple to look at locally also. Thanks

We sell new hulls and have one that was used and is being blueprinted as wee speak. With the hull design you will gain around 6-15 mph over conventional hull design. Check one out or drop me an email.

I have viewed your pics and it seems as though we have the same hull. My deck is identical except for the fact I don't have hatches in the front. Also my rear seat doesn't come out in the middle like yours. I take it you needed room for a transmission? I hate to ask, What happened to this one??? It looks so nice! Yes, I am in Brick. Only 3 miles west of PROROC MARINE on Mantoloking Rd. or 2 miles from Kurt's Marine if you are familiar with those shops.

Sharkey, I am really at a toss-up as to whether I should repair the hull or replace it. It has a crack in the chine at least 2 1/2 feet long, plus a piece 2 feet or so fell off the outer layer, at the crack, allowing a large amount of water in the boat. The rear seat was done to accomodate a big block, I believe. It sure does make access to the front of the engine very easy.

Is it behind the inner liner where you don't have access to the inside of the boat? If not where is the crack exactly? Toward the Stern?Bow?

David

The crack starts about 2 feet from the transom, then forward. I will know the extent after I pull the engine and remove the port stiffener.
