| Spectra
Marine was founded in Burbank, California in the early 1970's
by Ed Delong and chief designer Bud Bailey. Bud Bailey helped
design boats for Campbell Boats in the 1960's and Hallett Boats
in the 1980's.
Spectra
Marine made 5 hulls 18, 19, 20, 24, and 32. All hulls were used
in racing applications from river enduros to Offshore racing.
The
Spectra 18 was the first jet to finish and win the jet division
of The Parker Enduro. In 1973 the U.S. Coast Guard used the 18,
20, and 24 to patrol the water ways from the Colorado River to
the Pacific Ocean.
The
Spectra 20 was considered the most splashed boat of the 1970's.
The Spectra 32 was one of the first true offshore boats built
on the west coast.
Spectra
Marine ceased production in 1981, and even 20 years after making
their last boat, Spectra boats are among the most coveted lake
boats on the water today. |
