It is a beautiful boat, I hope to have one that nice someday. Hows the interior layout? What kind of speed are you getting out of it???
Thanks for the info.

The interior is two buckets with rear bench.Has the fiberglass engine cover ,which I prefer .Upholstery is redone last year .Original colour and frame. Carpet is new material rather than the shag it was in before:D I had a 460 in it that I've built years ago and the boat sank at the dock during a freaky storm 2 years ago .We have a lift installed this summer to avoid another disaster. I've built a 429 for it in the spring.Boat ran 72MPH [ "A" imp] on GPS at sea level with the 460 .Put a "AA" in and haven't checked with GPS yet. The boat runs 30 on the gauge at 2500RPM :D .I only have around 10 hrs on it [ have two other boats to play with :p ] and don't want to push the upper limit yet .

Your Spectra is sweet, I like the old school jets, that's what I would have got if I could have talked the wife into it, she wanted an open bow newer style, she was thinking that it would be less wrenching for me, my next one will be an old schooler like yours...
Thanks a ton for sharing those great pics with me, if you have more I would love too check them out...
