Is that what they called a pod????????????????? Kinda looks like some kind of platform.

My 36 Poker Run has been a great ride for 11 yrs now. Nice construction, rigging, and ride. Of course I am biased but I think it is one of the best bang for the buck cat boats out there. I just dropped mine off at Jay's shop in Clearwater for new canopies. Pilini Marine Technologies 727-773-5603 Jay's cell 727-954-5688. Take a ride over there and take a look. Talk to the man who built them.

I don't think thats a pod looks like a fixed tunnel tab/platform, I stand corrected if wrong. Mine has a hydraulic Dana tunnel tab in the same place. Every Spectre I have seen over the years, a lot of them, has been a true tunnel construction. I didn't know Jay made a pod cat. Learn something new every day. LOL

That is a tunnel extension and the only spectre I've ever seen with it. Most have adjustable tunnel tabs which creates more lift in the tunnel by trapping air. I've also never seen a 36 spectre with a center pod. I'm assuming you're talking about a pod that runs down the center like a DCB.

I think a spectre is the absolute best bang for your buck. There is no other entry level big cat close to it. I loved mine and it did well in every mixture of water I put it in. I think a 36 with 525 and whipples would be a perfect boat just need to man those sticks and watch the drive. I had MDG650s and bravo in mine and never had a drive issue.

PM SonnySpectre he has a pristine one for sale

That's a non- pod model.

I don't believe they ever built any 36s with center pods...or 30s or 32s for that matter.
Tunnel tabs yes, we had one on the 36 we raced. But not center pods like a DCB or Eliminator. At least Jay didn't. Do you have a picture Tank? Id be curious to see it. I'm thinking its a one off.

Here's another video Hemi. We were one of the original Spectre dealers, Jay Pilini built a great boat.
If you have any questions we'd be happy to talk to you. I think there is a super clean fresh water 36 for sale about 30 miles from our shop too, Ill ask around. Has whippled 500s we tuned. Give a call if we can help out, 518-644-3080

I am pretty sure jay never built a cat with center pod,he used a tunnel extension and tunnel tabs on the 36 to help ride control,i would leave it neutral with the tunnel and worked great,great boats for the money and built real well,cats typically like chop1-3 and run on the top of them ,never had one in the ocean always ran mine in the chesapeake bay and ran great

I remember your hot-rod, you used to come in Lloyd's creek with it, my father like your boat, talking with you had him considering getting a used 32' Skater, I wished you would have kept talking to him.

I liked your 36' Spectre...
