20' spectra jet
« on: January 22, 2010, 06:43:26 PM »
Thanks Brad. Brad knew I was lookin for a family ride and he sent me a link to a 20' spectra. I bought it from the family of the original owner. They had all of the OG paperwork. They bought it new in 76' and had all the receipts, brochures, and even a business card from burbank boats where they bought it. It needs lots of love , but I'll be postin some progress pics. :screwy:
