Yeah I didn't even notice that that's a good one I'll try and finish up this week and gets some pics of the trailer painted and axle and wheels underneath and bolted up

You guys have any opinion on electric over hydraulic brakes
BTW it's a myco not sure model I bought it used from trenton marine had a 42 outter limits on it
a friend an I or I guess you can say mostly him cut all the stands off and re welded all the stands to fit my bottom verse the stepped haul then I've rebuild the brakes axles and springs with bushings and seals
painting now then reassmble and put the boat back down on top
another question
will a boat warp or will it effect the bottom of a boat sitting on boat stands for long periods of time off the trailer

If you look at boats in the dry work are of a marina, they generally sit on the keel, wooden blocks at 3-4 points. The stands are only used to balance the boat, so it doesn’t fall over.

Weight on the keel should be fine, shouldn’t warp. Position the stands at strong points, under the strakes or chines.

I don't know if I've ever seen a 40' scarab. Is that the meteor that had triples?

Ill be down at the marine this weekend and take some pictures i think it was called 400 express I haven't seen much running out there scar was one of them there are a few in Europe they were very simular to hawks

50' Meteor and they are a beast.

Last meteor I seen was nyc cruising the hudson

It would be cool if this is a Wellcraft Excalibur 40 Hawk. First year built in 1984 after getting the molds from Excalibur.

9' beam and 22 degrees at transom. Good luck with Your resto.

Thanx
from what I remember wellcraft killed the Excalibur line because of the popularity of the 38kv due to the Miami vise show with Don Johnson

Yes, and no. They killed the 40 Hawk after 2 years, but continued the hull with the raised deck Eagle version for years. Those even got a swim platform

and became the Wellcraft Excalibur 42 Eagle.

That looks just like mine just the deck isn't as high
fun fact i was told my boat was originally built for Cindy laupers father the wrestler
