Title: Spectra Boats
Post by: MorePower on February 03, 2015, 04:43:08 PM: Can anyone give me some insight? Going to check a 21 spectra this weekend. It's a 74 with berk JC, new interior and a 455 olds. Obviously with my last build the olds didn't scare me off.

Any common problems I should look for? Thanks guys!

Thanks for the reply man, yeah I'm 100% fine running an olds. Especially since it's a cruiser with no need for speed

Dunno if you knew, I'm finishing a Spectra right now.

Hopefully someone already changed the fiberglass tanks, if not, that will be a must!

Good news, no wood in the transom, less area for rot.

I texted you... You still have the same #?
