I am selling my jet boat project. I bought this 1975 Spectra 19' boat 2 years ago and have had engine issues with it ever since. The first year I couldn't get the engine to run properly and ended up damaging the engine. Oil pressure flat lined and loud screeching happened shortly after. Got discouraged so I towed it out to my parents house to store it for a year. Then got some motivation so I purchased a rebuilt 454 BBC to install and tracked down all the parts to do so but never got the chance to install the engine. Now I don't have the space or much time to work on the boat unfortunately and am reluctant to sell but I don't have a place to store the boat for much longer so I need to get rid of it.

The boat is currently fully put together with the damaged Olds 455. The 454 BBC is sitting on a stand in my garage in the same condition I bought it in.

I am asking $3,000 for the boat as is or $6,000 for the entire project. I have the pink slip in hand and registration is up to date. DM or text @ 9o9.936.328o

Here are the details for everything:

~Boat~($5,300 invested)
- 1975 Spectra 19' ($4,250)
- 455 Olds(motor needs rebuilt)
- thru transom exhaust
- Edelbrock 800 cfm
- Jacuzzi jet pump with an American Turbine energizer kit
- manual place diverter (+$650)
- MSD ready to run distributor (+$400)

~Engine~($3,350 invested)
- 454 BBC (+$2,500)
- 14015445 block (1978-1990 - 454 truck engine - 2 or 4 bolt)
- 353049 Large oval port heads (Bored .030 over)
- RV Speed Pro mild cam shaft

- logs and snails, engine mounts, oil pan, misc (+$850)

In the end I am invested in about $9,000 when factoring in all the misc stuff like LED trailer lights, stainless steel bimini joints, etc. so I know I won't be seeing much of that back.
