    Spectra Speed

    Hi everybody. I’m considering buying a mid 70s 20 foot spectra with a 260 V-8 outdrive set up. Supposedly the motor is stock. What kind of speed could I expect to get out of a boat like this? Thank you very much!

    Quick Exhaust question

    thanks. Yes it's just a 260 Mercruiser with a newer SEI outdrive. Thanks for all the help. One more question is about the spark arrestor. It's the original spark arrestor. Is there something available that would increase the performance of it and not stick up much higher than the original? Has...

    Quick Exhaust question

    OK, Do I need the flaps? A couple friends said it will sound better without them and they don't really do anything and another friend said I do. But knowing the guy, it's only because his boat has flaps and had them when ho bought it. (He was also looking at getting a Baaliner until a few of...

    Quick Exhaust question

    I kinda thought so... I wanted to run them above the water line for the sound but I guess it's more practical to go under. Thanks!

    Quick Exhaust question

    [SIZE=2]I've always had outboards but now I have a 1978 Spectra 20. The current exhaust goes out through the outdrive. I'd like to run it through the transom above the swim steps. My question is: Will they get too hot? We have kids that sit on the steps, put on wakeboards - skis, etc. Will...

    F/S Spectra 20 Jet project

    Hi. Is the boat still available? Sorry but what does 1?4 stringer mean? I know a full stringer boat has the stringers that run up to the bow. Does 1/4 stringer mean that they only go about 5' from the transom forward? Thank You. Jim

    Jet - Outboard Conversion

    Hello. I'm interested to find any information on converting a 21' Spectra Jet to an outboard. I've done this to a 20' Skipjack and also a 24' Skipjack without too much hassle. Will a Spectra transom hold a 200 outboard? Hints on filling the hole in the bottom where the current intake for the...

    prop for 18' spectra 200 evinrude 2 stroke

    I have the original aluminum prop but looking for something for higher top speed. Don't have the budget for buying prop after prop so I'd appreciate any suggestions. Thank you.

    Spectra Lahaina

    I have an 18' outboard (evinrude 200 2 stroke). The title says Lahaina but it sure looks like a spectra. Anyone have any information on this brand? Did they splash a spectra? Thanks much.

    Spectra Lahaina

    I recently bought an 18' outboard. The title says it's a Lahaina but I've seen enough boats to recognize a Spectra when I see one... I think. Does anyone know anything about this? Thanks.
