Spectra Marine 20

Up for auction is my freshly resto-modded 1976 Spectra 20 jet boat with a big block high performance rebuilt Ford 460ci and a Berkeley JG split bowl jet drive. Boat was originally bought in Southern California, and has always been used here in fresh waters.

I purchased this boat 4 years ago from its original owner. The older gentleman had it parked indoors in his barn for many years and it was a true barn find that needed a little attention and love. Iv spent alot of time and effortto bring it to its current glory.

This boat is turn key and in very good vintage condition. Gel coat shines well and is in great condition for its age, although it does have its minor stress cracks (very inconspicuous). No fiberglass damage, or any soft spots anywhere.The deck non-slip edge has been smoothed out for a more sporty and clean look.

Interior is original diamond stitched vinyl and is in exceptional condition for its age. There are a couple minor nicks with biggest being the starboard side rear jump seat lower cushion as stitching has separated due to swimmers entering the boat wet.

Swim step has been restored with new hardwood, fiberglass and gel coated on underside (see pictures).

Boat underwent restoration last year and currently has 32 hours on it. New seat bases with marine hardwood and supports. Carpet was replaced and all new wiring with new Faria gauges and polished aluminum angled bezels. Steering cables, forward/reverse cable, and throttle were replaced.

This boat has the original ULTRA RARE dash cover that goes behind the gauges to conceal the wiring and gives the cuddy a nice clean look. See pictures.

Fiberglass tanks have been removed and were replaced with two 17 gallon gunnel aluminum tanks. Also, all deck hardware, have been updated to polished aluminum flush style grill vents and fuel fills.

Fresh professionally built engine. Very strong with no issues. Estimated at 400HP.
