Hulls / 1977 Spectra 19 hull advice

« on: May 20, 2017, 11:05:21 AM »

So I have been told in the past that 1/4 stringer hulls will never be fast boats. That not only are they weaker without the full length support but were built with something called Hook. This hook was meant to drive the nose down at higher speeds to improve handling. Driving the nose down is the opposite of what we want tho, to go fast. My Spectra is a 1/4 stinger with a floor. I was curious on how much "hook" I actually have so I crawled underneath with my 6' level and found something interesting. It's completely flat. From the transom all the way to the front where it starts curving upwards. I checked from left to right on both sides of all 4 bunks. So my question is, am I checking this wrong orrrr would my hull be a good canidate for some added full stringers? I don't plan on ever selling my boat and I think with a built 460, Berkeley pump and full stringers it can be a pretty well rounded cruiser/haul ass boat. What do yall think?

Don't know what to do next. Thinking about chroming the scoop? Need some ideas on alternative to 4" rubber exhaust hose. Want to keep my manifolds and maybe add chrome pipe somehow but don't know how to mount it other that fabricate some flanges

What's up everyone! I'm a lone wolf jet boater out here in Prescott AZ.
My love of jet boats started when I was about 10 years old and now with a 3 year old of my own I want to keep the tradition alive.
I'm the happy owner of a 1976 Spectra 19.
468 Ford stocker for the most part other than twin holly 750s and a mild cam.
Berkely single bowl with loader and diverter.
Looking foward to speaking to all you Veterans out there and even the Nooobs like myself!
