    Spectra 20 Engine Cover Measurements

    Thanks. That looks like a v-drive. My setup is/was exactly like this one. Don't remember where I got the photo, on a listing or on this site. But saved it for reference, a while ago. I'm sure some will recognize it. I'm trying to rebuild exactly like original.

    1978 Spectra 20

    This is the most recent photo I have, 2 years old. It doesn't look like that anymore and the motor was scrapped, but you get the idea. Brand new starboard tank has been installed.

    Spectra 20 Engine Cover Measurements

    Thanks, That is exactly the setup I have, 1/4 stringer, 460/Jet. Only thing, the hinges on mine were at the rear, not the front.

    1978 Spectra 20

    I have a 460 that I was going to rebuild, but I don't have time. I'm trying to get this done by Memorial day, so I'm looking for a good used, running 460 for sale, until I rebuild this one.

    Spectra 20 Engine Cover Measurements

    Thank you! My original engine cover was completely destroyed years ago and I was not able to use it as a template. I just need the measurements from each face of the engine cover, so I can fabricate one from scratch. I'd like to keep the original shape and design. Also, I'd like to see how the...

    1978 Spectra 20

    Also, I'm looking for a 460 for this. The original is completely shot and not rebuildable. Looking for stock marine short block. I'm literally in the final stretch of a 21 year project and any help is greatly appreciated! Jason

    Woodgrain Fabric - Would this work?

    I mean, I know the faux woodgrain was Pacalon but what did they use over it? (Well, under it in the mold)

    Spectra 20 Engine Cover Measurements

    Does anyone have the measurements for the original Spectra 20 Jet engine cover? I've been asking/looking for years, but can't seem to find them. I'm in Rhode Island, so there aren't many around here, if any. I could also use the measurements for the cover base and how it attaches to the...

    What was used originally on the Spectras, over the faux woodgrain?

    1978 Spectra 20

    I know this is an old thread, do you happen to still have this boat and the same engine cover? I'm trying to fabricate my engine cover and have absolutely nothing to go by. I really could use the measurements.

    If you still have it and if you're not going to use it, would you consider selling it?

    1978 Spectra 20

    It's actually a laminate. It was done by a friend of mine. For years, I couldn't find anyone who could fix it. So we just went with a laminate for now. Maybe down the line, I'll try routing it out, installing a veneer, then epoxy over. There's gotta be a way to do it.
