Selling my newly restored 1981 Spectra 19' V-Drive. Boat is very fast. Restored in 2013-14 with brand new interior, gauges, powder coating, carpet and interior gelcoat.Engine is a 522 Merlin by World Products with a Carson Brummett intercooler and injected induction system. Turbos are Turbonetics. Race Aero dual core intercooler. Short list as follows...Edelbrock aluminum marine heads with inconel valves and full roller valve train
All forged internal components, 85# Bosch injectors running off a Pantera fuel injection system running tuned port, coil on cylinder mapping. Motor is built with premium everything, making well over 1100 hp.1981 Spectra 19' rigged by Bob Teague in the early 80's for a well regarded automotive painter in the valley who put an absolutely insane paint job on it, which has survived for the most part. It had pin striping on it that was in bad shape, but it has all been professionally sanded and polished off. My intent was to do a little more pin striping on it, then to clear coat the whole boat with a modern clear to leave it good for another generation. Close up pictures of the boat show how clean it still is. Will look better with newer pins. The existing ones were from the early "Miami Vice" era with much pink... was going to re-do with charcoal and purples to update while staying period correct.It was on the cover of Popular mechanics Magazine in 1989 regarding California Muscle or something. Pretty cool... have the scans of the original magazine.During re-rig, the Casale 10 degree box got gone through, and it now has 40% overdrive gears in it. New seals and gear fluid this year.Prop is a D&J Custom two blade in great shape.Boat got a brand new tow cover and stainless bimini top with flush billet mounts.Custom -10 fuel system using a Weldon fuel pump and Aeromotive filters and regulator. I probably dropped $3K on stainless and fittings on this rebuild alone. Lots of engine bling to be had.Turbo 400 tranny rebuilt before I got to it, and works great.Gauges are all Auto Meter including custom air/fuel meter and GPS speedo.Cavitation hardware all in great shape, added a 1000 gph automatic bilge pump during rebuild.Nav lights have been added, as well as big oil cooler, tranny cooler and the V-drive box is cooled as well.Trailer is in great shape, tandem axle with good tires and wheels and new lighting throughout.Boat cuts through chop amazingly well, and was originally rigged as an endurance ski race boat.Boat is turn-key and river ready. Many videos and pics from the last two weekends. No problem with test drives in the Yuma area (Lake Martinez) for qualified buyers with deposit.Will consider partial trades for off road cars, sand cars, motorcycles like BMW or Ducati, guitar recording gear, Jeeps, competition ski boats, enclosed car haulers, buggies and lots of stuff. No hard tail motorcycles.
