About This Trawler
Excalibur is configured with the popular three stateroom and two head layout. Her interior features custom design and soft goods by yacht specialist, Sylvia Bolton. Outside she has double walking side decks and her flybridge has the desirable fiberglass hard top. Underway, her reliable Cummins main engine pushes her through the water while sipping diesel. For comfort she has Wesmar active fin stabilization and for redundancy, she has a Wesmar get home drive powered from the Northern Lights generator PTO. Docking is simplified with Sidepower bow and stern thrusters connected to the wireless Yacht Controller remote that also shifts the main engine in and out of gear.
