The ice maker will be a winter project :)

Coach'80 it is a Skylon Tuna Tower.



I am not sure the difference in the 80s width compared to the 2001 models but it fit perfect. I didn't have to modify it all. I don't think they make it anymore but I really liked the way it conforms to the windshield. It came with all the other parts from the PO and was all wrapped up when I brought it home with the boat so I had no idea what kind it was and I got REALLY luck with it being the right size!

With the 4 Blade, I have had it up to 47 and it still had a little more. I haven't pushed it all the way yet. I will let you know once I get up the nerve to floor it!

I am selling the extra parts I had from the boat. Critter has first dibs on the old swim platform but I have the entire dash assembly from the 82 including the speedos.

I also have the entire steering assembly not including the cable. The steering wheel hub is painted black.

I also have the original ski pole with the finger. Let me know if anyone is interested.

Just shoot me an email at tekcosta @ gmail.com if you are interested.

AKA,

How much do you want for the Hour Meter and how many hours does it show? Also, how much for one of the Airguides. All shipped to Denver ( Charlotte), NC at 28037.

Thanks,

Donald

I also have the 51" shaft that came from the 82! It is in really good shape. I also have 3 extra shaft seals.



I also have the original wide cradle that I think is the same as the 89 cradle.

It is the one on top in this picture:



I am not sure of prices for all this so just make me an offer!

Thanks!

Not quite- Chopper has an '89, Aka has an '83.

Aka, you get a GPS on that thing yet? Im curious if youre flirting with 50. That Excal is good for 5200+, dont be afraid to push it.

Yea, Chopper's rig was my inspiration and motivation to get mine done.

I didn't believe it was a 2001 first time I saw it.

My original speedo is GPS driven now with the help from a hummingbird transmitter.

I know it is silly but I have been hesitant to push the engine all the way. I spent a lot of hours rebuilding her and the last thing I want to do is blow it up before I get in a full season.

She pulls really strong out of the water. Sometimes to strong depending on who is driving.

I have had it up to 48. I am going out tonight so I will push it all the way and let you know what I get out of her but I have the feeling it will top out right at 50.

Later!

Hey Aka,

Do you have an engine loom wiring diagram for the Excal that you could shoot through to me by any chance.?

Trying to work out what a couple of plugs are for om nime that appear to be "spare"

Sent you an email. didn't recieve the site email.?

Just in case anyone else knows, I'm trying to figure out what these 2 harness plugs are for on the excalibur motor. They are above the g'box bellhousing near the main harness plug.
