Oh man!!! This is awesome!, honestly surprised to see another one of these. I found both of these hulls on eBay and my dad is building one and I’m building the other! Here are a few pictures of mine in its current state, almost ready for a maiden voyage as well! Sporting a 26cc Zenoah . Digging that 3d printed pump!Hey! I've got one of those. I was told they were made in E WA, on the other side of my state, where I bought mine. Mine is sporting a 20cc Zen and a 3d printed jet pump, almost ready to maiden.
I'd love some more info too if anyone has one
Oh, and if you want to sell one, I've got another idea for a project I'd like to try, and it would be a great hull to do it.
Thanks for sharing those pictures, that thing is rad! Curious how it will work with the pump setup. I know my setup probably isn’t ideal but figure I’ll get it to work good enough! This build was kinda more of a “memorabilia” build. As a kid my uncle and dad had this exact hull and I was obsessed with it haha. Never saw it run but as I got older I realized I had to have one! My uncle got his from a swap meet in L.A. CA, . I got a piece of the box with these hulls and it said excaliber by “Lancer”. But that’s all I’ve come up with. And yes, I did machine the servo box, motor mounts and etc. the servo box actually screws to the top of the rails and can be moved forward or backwards if need be. Just cause you may appreciate it here’s a picture of my dads hull in its current state.That looks killer. Did you design the mounts?
Mine is very much a test to see how the pump holds up to the Zen. As far as I know I'll be the first to run one of these pumps with a gas engine. If it works and seems reliable, I'll tear it down for paint and "finishing", and then get started on my next gas jet boat, likely with a stock 30cc and possibly the next size up pump.
I'd love to find another one of these hulls for sale, a buddy happened to have this one in his garage and I had to have it. I was told they were built in Spokane WA back in the 70's, but haven't found any info to corroborate that.
Here are some more pictures of my build. Hoping it works so I can tear it all down and make it pretty.

I like the sound of that! Keep in touch once you have your maiden voyage , I wanna know how it pans out .That looks great, thanks for sharing. If mine works out it will be sporting some sort of obnoxiously bright colors with lots of flake - reminiscent of the 70's drag/river boats.
Thank you @Joseph Durnyathose are really nice !!!
