Excalibur 30 Cat

Postby cat-man-do » Wed May 07, 2014 11:09 am

I will be embarking on a major structural project of this boat this summer. It has had several repairs over its life time, most of which have failed and/or are poorly made. The interior structure was previously rebuilt between the forward bulkhead in the bow and main engine space bulkhead by someone that did not know much about boat building. A good portion of it has simply let go from the hull due to poor preparation and substandard materials. Other parts have failed due to improper joints and a lack of reinforcement in the right areas.

The repairs were altered so much from original that I would like to find out the original structural layout to research and make a proper plan for repair. A source for construction drawings, or a repairer whom specializes in Wellcrafts, or an old hand from the factory, etc. is what I am looking for. Preliminary searching for a good source has not been successful as I understand this model saw a very limited production run (between 1984-1986?) and the original design (possibly molds) came from elsewhere. I have made a couple of "cold call" emails to Wellcraft regarding this but haven't had a response.

Any help in finding a source would be appreciated.
