Maybe someone will save it.

I saw it yesterday and considered the logistics....I could build a dolly in a day and put it on a flatbed. I'd be 2k into a 700 dollar 60k project overnight.

 

[monkeyswrench]

Damn, ad says it's an auto...if it were a stick I may be a player

 

[hman442]

Looks like it comes with a Limo

 

[Gelcoater]

Someone should resurrect the brand.
Go get that, fill some holes and pull molds from it.

How rad would that be with a modern interior and a pair of 450s hanging off the back.

Or a Teague 1200 spinning a V drive setup.

A pair of Merc 700s maybe?

 

[DLC]

Twin 450’s for sale on St8up….

 

[Happy Smitty]

For small investment you could have the best yard art in havasu.

 

[wzuber]

I'm sure the bottom is nice and straight.............on the 1 side......with all that dirt/rock support. And of course the stringers are solid w/no delam or anything.
this is your brain on drugs.............any ???????That was a really nice float in its day. suchashame.

 

[SoCalZero]

Looks like a good deal. They would probably take 500. Only if it was blue.

What a shame.

 

[SBMech]

I think that only 49 32's were made.

Sad that it was abandoned.

 

[Orange Juice]

couple electric trolling motors to get it from the marina to the channel, a kick ass stereo. Maybe $3-4 for a trailer.

Racey has the 32 mold.

Scott at Hot Rods & Hobbies has the spectra 19 or 20 mold

 

[Mcob25rg]

Definitely worth saving. Wish it was closer to me ( 3,200 miles!) I’d be all over it

 

[hallett21]

RDP baller starter kit. 32 spectra and grab the limo behind it while you’re at it.

I like and know your style

Well, the bottoms bad on the Spectra...I say put it on the limo chassis!

Sounds like a great project for a burning man ride.

 

[Racey]

Racey has the 32 mold.

My dad actually gave the molds to Greg Foster (RIP)

They are in Parker somewhere

Was this Herbst's or Schoen's 32? I think Corrigan had one too like this

Graphics look like the Herbsts and the Barber Chair seat for the observer is another give away.

 

[OCMerrill]

Even FREE is to expensive.

I’m surprised there isn’t more interest in building a few?
Seems like it would be a great cruiser with modern power.
The looks of the boat itself hold well today, good looking boat

I'm sure for the right person there is interest in one. But not for the average consumer as the market has greatly shifted to cats and deck boats, and anything big with twins more people want wackers now.

 

[Gelcoater]

So bolt a couple 450s to one
There’d be a shit ton of interior room.
Could probably swing a galley and head below deck and a stabin cabin up front.

 

[RiverDave]

I always loved the 32’s.. it’s a shame to see that one like that.

 

[ka0tyk]

eh I got my bahner laying in a field… she was a beauty. Luckily the guy had a forklift. But at least it was sitting on tires and straight. Really no diff than a trailer. Imagine the THUD that spectra made when they yanked it off its trailer onto the ground and then rocked to the side.

You guys need to get busy and go pick it up.

You could add a Onan marine generator and marine a/c with heat. That boat would be awesome.

What’s the story on that? Is that the one you stripped for the warlock burn boat?

 

[ka0tyk]

Same guy has this for sale. Would be a WAY better starting point

Better yet, a no-permit-required ADU

Yeah supposedly the guy was gonna slap an outboard on it but last I saw it was sitting in a storage yard in San Diego suffering the same fate as Dave’s schiada.

 

[spectra3279]

Total shame. Would make a nice boat. But would take a few cubic dollars also.

 

[Dkahnjob]

I had a Spectra 32. It was a wonderful boat, very

Ahead of it's time, Handled well and was fun to drive, wish I still had it!

How have you been, missed you at the last couple get togethers

 

[wzuber]

As the saying goes.....nothi g more expensive than a free boat...

 

[whiteworks]

Spectra 32 is a badass boat, PERIOD. I think if Someone had the space that picking this thing up and stashing it will prove to be a good thing. If it was a 21’ RC someone would throw $150k at it and not think twice.

That's a good looking boat. It looks like a stretched version of my 26' Sleekcraft, same gel colors and woodgrain. I have a Spectra story.

A few weeks after I got back from buying the boat from Nescher, I came across two Houston guys at Lake Somerville that owned Spectra 24s.

I found out what was under their engine covers when we did a three wide race. I was running with the Spectras on either side of my boat, pulling them by half a length and feeling good about it, when both of the boats began emitting a whistling noise and pulled away like I had thrown out the anchor.



We pulled up to chat and they told me about this Gale Banks guy. I called him on Monday, and he told me he could fix me up for $10,500 or something close to that. It was a lot of cheese for 1978, I kept the Harman 440.

I think you should do another one David, you’re no stranger to rehabbing boats.
