You have an Excaliber Hawk, built around 1980.

The HIN on the upper right hand portion of the transom, will tell you most of what you need to know.

If it's in good shape, you have a boat with a great legacy mrdealhd. Does your HIN start with NAP? Bill Farmer started Excaliber Marine in Sarasota. There are still a lot of them running with nice classic lines. Fountain started with a 31' Excaliber. With a lot of modifications this became the Executioner. Chris Craft 39 Stingers also came out of an Excaliber mold. Around 1984 Wellcraft bought Excaliber and began building Excalibers in the Wellcraft line.

Are you going to restore this one?

I'll check first thing in the morning for the HIN number. Thinking about doing a restore and getting a full body wrap put on when we're done. Will post pics of the engines also...
Thank you guys for all the help and info so far.

Great - please post more pics for our viewing pleasure!
As PAR says the HIN will also tell you the year.
Looks like TRS drives in the pic - are they merc 400s?

Not sure how long a wrap will last in a marine environ.
Glad you are thinking of doing a full restore.
This boat deserves to be run.
