Title: Spectra, Eliminator, WTF?
Post by: SpectraRyan on March 25, 2017, 05:35:44 PM
Hey all. Found this boat on the list. It says 88 Eliminator 19 jet. Has eliminator HIN. It looks exactly like a Spectra 19. Did eliminator use the spectra mold. Whats the deal with this anyone know? Thinking about hitting the guy up. I know its rough but if i can get it cheap it would be a cool project. Especially if its the same hull as the spectra 19.

I've talked to this guy before the motor needs to be rebuilt. And lots of work on the hull. It's a great deal if you can do alot of it yourself

Im fine with doing work my self. Im looking for a project boat anyways. If the hull dosnt have rot or cracks or anything id be interested. I have a 454 i can build already also. I was just curious about the history here. It just caught my eye when i saw it tagged as an Eliminator. Where you able to get any more info out of him besides whats in the ad? Thanks

He couldn't tell me much more about it. Besides he wanted to make a hot rod out of it. Didn't know what kind of pump it was other than a Berkley. He kinda went into it blind..

I'm pretty sure Bahner used Eliminator hulls also. I think there was a lot of that going on back then.

When spectra went out of business eliminator got the mold. A few others had it and now it's in the hands of crusader boats.

It has a newer style dominator pump with a chrome bowl, place diverter droop that is chromed and a older style place Diverter nozzle that is chromed with a hyro ram but he wasn't sure if it had a motor for the Diverter. I was gonna buy the pump of him but I found a better deal.

I went to go see the boat today. It's in pretty rough shape. I asked over the phone if it was cracked and he said no. Sure enough when I got there it's got stress cracks like a mofo. Even on the bottom. He's asking way to much for the condition it's in. Oh well. Keep looking I guess.
