Can anyone give me some history on Spectra cruiser? Are they still made? if not when did they stop making them. What are you opinions of them?

The Spectra 20 was the first boat Spectra made Bud Bailey designed it.
Spectra went out of business in 1981. The 20 molds were sold to Miller boats and Miller just sold them.
The Spectra 20 was splashed by just about every boat company in the 1970's, but Howard Brown copied the Spectra 20 in 1974 and they still make the boat today. Howard did change the deck in the mis 80's.
I think you know what my opinion is regarding Spectra:D.
