Hello Gents,

sorry to inform you the spectras SOLD...I'm the new proud owner...

The colors are painted on.The pictures don't show the true condition...The hull will need refinished. question #1 can the hull be painted or gel coated??? Thanks...what is your opinion on the old spectras this is my first jet and will be asking lots of questions...Thanks

« **Reply #10 on:** August 11, 2008, 02:52:01 PM »

If the boat has been painted, I'd stick with repainting. Otherwise you have to make sure you remove every little last piece of paint so the gel will stick to the underlying fiberglass matrix.

Ok,Thanks, some of the colors are painted the white is gel...I'm going to change the color scheme...

Great Buy!! The old Spectras are great boats. They are laid up heavy, very strong. I might be bias because I have one but, I did alot of research In the 3 years I looked for one. They are one of the boats to have in this world. Congrats!!! Good to have a another Spectra owner on the site. Hope to see it at one of the gatherings.

Now thats a deal! I have been looking for one for about a year now, The cool thing about the 73 is it is a full stringer Spectra.

Kind of a slow site but RD is suppose to add it to his site

« **Reply #24 on:** August 16, 2008, 01:53:24 PM »

Stringers are the wood that runs along the bottom of the boat on the inside, that the motor mounts to.In the early years full stringers were put in, which would be along the bottom of the whole boat. My friend has a 77 Spectra 20 Jet and the stringers stop after the motor. Which is kind of nice because there is alot of space under the bow.These boats are laid up heavy so there has never been a big deal about full stringers or not. Full stringers make you feel better about runnin it hard. All the V-Drives have full stringers to mount all the hardware. Great Boat, Bitchin Deal!!! Enjoy!!
