78 32 spectra with trailer. Much of the work has been done however needs transom work and a stringer. Really cool boat. I chopped the deck at the windscreen area to have a longer deck and little less head room in cabin. Currently trs drives are still mounted. I have original merctrans also. Hull is great with only 360 plus original hours. Deck mod area is near primer stage. Plan was to finish off and paint deck and sides canary yellow or wrap. Boat is an original twin BBC. All wiring etc remains in boat with harness. I've got a lot of time into this and has been stored inside. I'm sencond owner of boat. I Really wanted to see project through but things have changed. To see what I have done do a google search on a 1978 32' spectra and then hit images. You'll see originals and also one or two that did the deck mods I did.

This is an awesome bottom btw. I was told spectra did a splash of cigarettes bottom and ended up in litigation so they stopped building these. There was only like 50 built. Handles rough water awesom while still relatively light. 6,600 with engines etc.

Thanks. I followed the work you did to the deck on that boat, impressive.
I'd have to farm out finish work on a hull. I just don't have facilities to do that. Core work, structure work is fine. Mechanical work and interior I can do. Large scale paint work, I can't

Biff- saw that. If it were closer, I'd be all over it.
It sounds like I need all the stars to align doesn't it. I'm truly serious, with the way this market is headed I imagine I'll live with this next boat for awhile

I have a 24 panther on a tandem alloy trailer needs a transom and the jet pulled out to make it an IO boat ,paint and power .
Cockpit interior is good but has no v birth interior
Might be to small for what your looking for but the price is right 2500.00
24 long 7 wide 24* dead rise the most copied hull in the world.
Panther,python,cig,superboat,martini,jaws,donzi,su nsation,O and fountain but they called it a 27 lol
