1976 Spectra 21 Jet - $6,500

[HM]

Surprise.....NEW LOWER PRICE!!! :D
4 Stringer 21 Spectra Cruiser (measures 20' 11") - I was told this is a 21 not a 20.
Blue and White Scallop (paint - and it needs some love)
454 with recent rebuild
Brand new upholstery
All new 40 oz carpet.
Berkely JC pump with Hydraulic place diverter
new gauges and bezels, new steering wheel all accessories are anodized blue.
High end muffler system (that is right...system) that has a cross over tube. Quiet enough, but still sounds good.
On triple axle trailer.
$6,500 or trade for ???
I have only owned this boat since last summer, and only put it in the water for a few minutes on the trailer to make sure it ran when I got it - and then it got parked. I took it out on Elsinore on Sunday the 9th. It ran real good. Comes out of the hole VERY strong. Carb needs a little work as there was a bit of a hesitation (felt like accelerator pump - could also have been old gas). Boat ran 51-52 on GPS and was pulling 4700 RPM. Hydraulic place diverter worked well. Boat takes a great set. Boat handles nicely, especially the rough stuff. The wind was blowing out on Elsinore at a pretty good clip and it was 55 degrees! bbbuuuurrrrrrr!!!! Starts real easy. Idled great. I ran about 10 gallons of gas thru it. I was really impressed with how this boat ran, especiallly with the fairly stock 330 HP 454.
Took more pictures today on the ramp. The only downside of this boat is the paint job. It looks good from far, but far from good! It looks like someone shot the paint in their garage. But, it can easily be used as is for many many boating seasons. The interior is immaculate (because it is all new). You can seat a lot of people in this boat because it has a back to back bench and jump seats.

There is a 2nd engine/rear hatch that folds back for easy access to batteries and a bit of storage.

Rear jump seats are definitely for slimmer adults and kids (but I fit in there just fine at 5'8" at 185 lbs).

Rear bench is a little narrower than the front due to the drink holders.

I try! Next trip I will bring a real camera. Those shots were taken with my camera phone. And then the settings changed back to smaller pictures for some reason and I didn't know it. This camera phone used to take great pictures, but I think the dust cover is hammered from being put in my pocket.

[boatnam2]

Everytime i see this boat, i think how bad ass it would look if who ever painted it did the whole thing the same color.

Classic styling :D
I just might buy this thing so you can make atleast two more boat deals before summer:rolleyes:

How bad is the paint? Will it come back with a little colorsanding? Man I wish it was solid Blue :(

It is not an issue of coming back. That would mean it was actually good at one point, and it really wasn't. There are a couple runs on the side. But, I have seen a LOT worse on boats that people thought were "clean." Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Because I have had several Dick Vale paint jobs on a previous boat, it is hard for me to say this paint is good. And yes...this boat would look great solid blue.

I'll give you a real camera to take pictures with. Geesh :( :eek: :rolleyes: :D

a 36 pack of CL... :D I'll bring my assistant, Brian. He can handle any polishing you may need done. ;) How's the carb? :D

[Outnumbered]

Did you run out of breath fogging the lens before each photo?:D If you wanted to hide the blems in the photos you could have just had some hotties stand in front of the boat:rolleyes: :D

The carb could use a going through. Even if it doesn't, better safe than sorry. :D

The last time I was at elsinore with a bunch of hotties, I slipped in the green goo and landed on the back of my head in about a foot of water followed by attempting to stand up and look cool as the lock ness monster. Turns out chicks don't dig you when you are covered in elsinore slime.
On a side note, I thought these pictures kind of had a nice "Soft" look to them. :D

[HM]

The boat also has a new towing cover that fits perfect.
Trailer surge brakes are non-operational. Don't know why...got it that way. Also has a smaller tire on the back right rear. Fenders are in good shape, but right side has some rust.
