Available in Race Boat and Poker Run Edition configurations, the 36 is one of boatings most impressive thrill rides.
The 36 Poker Run Edition runs on the same bottom with twin-stepped sponsons and deep wide tunnel as the Zip Express race boat. (The large tunnel provides increased air compression, giving it impressive performance capabilities, often exceeding that of smaller boats running on the same power). Dual crystal-clear F-16 quarter canopies provide wind and spray protection for driver and co-pilot.
Spectres 36 racing Zip Express is an APBA Offshore World Championship winner, two-time winner the Super Boat International World Championships, and has set kilo records sanctioned by each organization.
Beam: 10 ft. 2 in.
Fuel tank capacity: 174
Standard features: The 36 has high-back racing bucket seats with carbon fiber backs for driver and co-pilot, which are sturdily through-bolted to a subplate in the cockpit liner. With space for four passengers on the rear bench, the individually hinged rear seat bolsters can be lifted for storage.
Throttle and Shift controls mounted between the driver and co-pilot buckets enables the cat to be used in either single-operator or driver and throttleman applications.
The 36 features gunwale inserts with speakers for the high-end sound system and drink holders, and side compartments for securely stowing smaller items. Grab handles make welcome additions for co-pilot and passengers at triple-digit speeds.
From its aircraft-grade stainless steel hardware and powder-coated handrail, quality is apparent throughout. All attached hardware is through-bolted, and sturdy backing plates and mounting plates embedded in the hull and deck provide a solid connection point and ensure long-term performance. All wiring is neatly race-mounted, with evenly spaced stainless cushion clamps and tie-wraps.
Hardware includes Livorsi instrumentation and throttles, full hydraulic race steering, Cole Hershee switches, and hardware from Eddie Marine and Dana Marine.
From its Accon pop-up cleats, through-bolted aluminum rubrail, and flush mounted fuel fills and vents, all hardware has been carefully appointed for optimal performance while carefully integrating into the overall visual appeal of the 36.
The four-point Mercury Racing engine mounts employ L-angles, through-bolted to the stringers. Modified intake scoops give the 36 a racy look. Engines are mounted slightly forward in the boat for balance, and are easily accessible for service. Aluminum Eddie Marine battery boxes are also mounted for easy access.
