1996 Spectrum 18' Sport - Am I crazy?

I've watched Tiny Boat Nation for many years. They do some fun stuff.

I missed the boat, and am looking for another. Hard to find.

If anyone sees a 18' Spectrum, please let me know!

Not a spectrum, but similar

That IS pretty similar, overall. It looks like a pretty clean boat. I'm going to forward to a friend in VB who is looking for a first boat. Thanks for posting!

I'm going to constantly look for a fixxer-upper 18 footer Spectrum or similar welded hull boat. Something light for it's size, but sturdy.

The more I think about it, the more I wish I'd jumped. The only 18's I see are $8k or more, depending on engine. I would have whipped that one into shape pretty quickly. You snooze, you lose!

Thill,,, 500$ PM sent.

I saw that one a while back, but they were asking way too much. I guess they dropped their price.

Couldn't find it today. Let me know if they respond. That particular model has a big transom wall, but it might be adaptable to a rear casting deck for more space.

Thanks!

He responded yesterday to tell me it was a 17 foot. My bad, he is asking 800$ but I’d bet 450 would get it.

There are a few in WA and ID listed on FB Marketplace. They look a bit rough for the asking prices.
