I'm stuck here. My boat needs some work and I don't really have the time to fix it so with the market for older boats these days I'm wondering if I wouldn't just be better off parting it out.What do you guy's think? It is a 24 foot excalibur. with a BBC with only about 20 hrs. slightly warmed over to around 470 horse, with a TRS drive.

what's wrong with it?

JUSTONCE

There isn't any rot in the boat, but it needs some glass work, there are some cracks where stringers meet in the bilge, and a small area of the hull has some delamination on the starboard side about a foot off the transom. I also need a new set of tabs, since I broke one off in lake Erie's a$$ last fall. Other than that the boat is mechanically sound.

cant believe you havent been able to sell this boat. it is very cool. was that boat originally just a two seater? or did you rig it that way. either way i like it like that.

JUSTONCE

ya there are some pics on here I'll have to find a couple.

Dave, thanks The boat can only be a two seater with that deck, its all bow and the bolsters are right up against the the engine firewall.

Very cool boat indeed. What have you been trying to sell it for? If you part it out you should be able to get about 3-4 grand for the motor easy enough, say 3-4 G's for the TRS, and depends if you have a merc trans or a BW I would think about 1000 for that. Most of the other stuff will get ya a couple bucks hear and there.

Jon, my thoughts exactly. I also would avoid worrying about someone finding things to complain about on the boat. At the same time there isn't that much wrong with it. A little, and I mean "little" tlc would make her a real nice boat again, I'd hate to cut her up.

BTW: I was trying to get around 10k. It would kill me to sell it for much less cause I know how much fun this little boat is.

Audiofn

You can probably find some one to buy the hull and trailer when you are done if you do not strip it to badly.

Can you get pictures of the delamination and stringers separating. I might be intersted in it.

Is there any cabin whatsoever?

JUSTONCE

I guess I may go that route, Sucks that It will prolly take as much time to part out as it would to fix. owe well, thats boating

Wait a minute dude. That looks like a hell of a boat for 10 Gs... Keep trying to sell it. Just on this thread there seem to be two people interested...

Fast Shafts

Hey Q,
This boat has your name written all over it!! Do I hear P6?? Kind of looks like the Sunsation, don't you think? It's only a 10 hour trip to Cleveland...I'm available to help...

offshoredrillin

I say sell it whole, seems the interest is there, your honest with what needs to be done, and your not saying it needs to be scuttled. I think someone that is looking for a semi project would like it whole. Set a price that your willing to let it go at and work from there. It is a very cool looking boat, looks like just badass fun... my .02...rob

Stormrider

That thing is sweet. Keep trying to sell complete.

10k for 24 feet would sell very fast in Texas.

JUSTONCE

when I take my boat to shooters The girls are the only thing that gets attention. there are too many big boats that make the 24 look like a dingy.
Here is the pics of the bottom where the hull is delaminated and the transom where the tab ripped off.
