Curious as to the value on an Excalibur 27 1980. See attached link. I went and looked at the boat a couple of days ago. I'll tell you it's not as it appears in the photos. No motor, comes with TRS left hand, tranny and bellhousing (all need to be painted), 23 pitch TRS old school cleaver. Cables and wires running everywhere in the engine bay.Upholstery on engine hatch is worn, wood rotton, cockpit upolstery is weathered. Crack at the center of the transom above the drive where the hull meets the deck. Floor is soft. There are three vertical cracks on each side of the bottom outside strakes in the helm area that appear to be right where the bulkheads are. They are approx 2 feet apart which leads me to believe that the stringers are soft also. A few other repairs to the bottom that have been filled with Duraglass. Gauges and helm area are weathered and faded. Boat is sitting on an aluminium trailer that needs TLC. Wheels do not look too roadworthy. Owner is asking $15000.00, I offered him 3K. He says he's had offers sight unseen for 12.5K. Anyone have any idea what this is worth.

Sweet boat, I wouldn't pay more than $5K

sounds like the exact condition i bought mine in. no eng. soft floor worn seats. i bought my 1981 speedster 27' and 2004 trailer for $6,000. and i think i paid a little to much for it. i had to re do everything. now every thing is new in my boat, and i am only asking $12000

Highdesert, do you have a link to the ad or photos?
