Spectra 24xs

Heres a rare findThe coveted and well sought after SPECTRA 24xs V-Drive

Take the party to the lake with this beautiful performance boat. Seating is for 10 and your gear.

Powered by a Ford 460ci 330hp, C-6 3-speed transmission, into a Champion V-Drive.

This boat is a Nevada boat that has run on Lake Mead. It has been previously rebuilt I dont know all the details because it was purchased at auction. I have given it a thorough inspection. It runs good and goes into gear. The floor is solid, stringers are healthy; no rot. The gel coat is in excellent condition, the only show of wear is on the front keel due to beaching and one small rock scratch by the keel. (See pics) No stress cracks or impact damage. The upholstery is starting to show wear, the wood bases on the back seats are rotting and will need to be replaced. The rest are in great shape.

The trailer also has been recently rebuilt all new brakes, fenders, bunks, wheels, tires and epoxy paint.

The engine has new exhaust manifolds, a Mallory Marine Distributor, MSD wires, Holly 750 double pump carburetor and large oil cooler.

No leaks from the engine, transmission or v-drive. The hour meter shows 232 hrs.

I did my best to thoroughly inspect and describe the condition of the boat. I will work with the prospective buyers answering questions or even having an independent shop give it an inspection.

The boat is Sold AS-IS no warrantee is implied.

The boat has no name, ready for the one of your choice. I was thinking BOOYA

Feel free to call me with any questions you may have.

History of Spectra

Spectra Marine was founded in Burbank, California in the early 1970's by Ed Delong and chief designer Bud Bailey. Bud Bailey helped design boats for Campbell Boats in the 1960's and Hallett Boats in the 1980's.

Spectra Marine made 5 hulls 18, 19, 20, 24, and 32. All hulls were used in racing applications from river enduros to Offshore racing.

The Spectra 18 was the first jet to finish and win the jet division of The Parker Enduro. In 1973 the U.S. Coast Guard used the 18, 20, and 24 to patrol the water ways from the Colorado River to the Pacific Ocean.

The Spectra 20 was considered the most splashed boat of the 1970's. The Spectra 32 was one of the first true offshore boats built on the west coast.

Spectra Marine ceased production in 1981, and even 20 years after making their last boat, Spectra boats are among the most coveted lake boats on the water today.
