Anybody know anything about the 28' in Texas that was for sale on OSO this past spring? I have talked to Daryl, the owner but just wanted some unbiased input. I need another project to keep me out of trouble for a while. Here is a pic of the boat.

I am fine with a project. I am tired of working on a boat that isn't what I want anyway, so it's gone. I was considering twin sbc, but most likely I would go single since I already have the motor for it. I figure I fit in better with you crazy Pantera guys that are always tearing chit apart just because so I might as well make the move.

Not holding out on you... I only know what I've read on that site that won't open for me anymore.
"Tear gas and draft beer don't mix."

Well, I drove down to take a look at this one and iy was a huge waste of time. The boat is rotten and water logged. There is a foot of water standing under the floor from the front of the cuddy all the way to the back of the cockpit, an honestly, I wouldn't tow the trailer down the street. I guess I am still looking

It was about 10 plus hours from my house. Not taken care of is putting it mildly. This boat needs to go to the shredder and I am all for resurrecting old boats. The supposedly good drives and tabs were junk as well and the transom has been hacked and rerigged so many times I am suprised the drives haven't fell of in his driveway. Oh well, I did find a nice clean old 27 excalibur I might pick up.

11-30-2009 06:58 PMDid you get any pics? I guess you never got that 27 Activator in DE last year. Is the Excalibur the one in MD?

I think my buddy snapped a couple but they are on his camera. I was to busy getting p!ssed off to take pics and it was dark when we got there.
I am still not to sure about the excalibur.I am not sure I want a 7' beam boat and I have had enough of ducking under the dash to get to the beer cooler. The one I looked at is not in MD and it's not listed anywhere yet.Last edited by Trim'd Up; 11-30-2009 at 07:28 PM.
