19 foot Spectrum Pro Avenger Fishing Boat complete restoration. New floor, foam and carpet installed.
My total cost was $3857.75 but that includes the boat and motor. If you subtract those costs the restoration was around $2000. I actually tracked all my expenses (I copied the numbers below). I still need to install vinyl in the floor which I estimate will cost an additional $200. My total time was 120 hours.

- 1” x 3/16”Rivets 100 pack @ $17.99 x 4 = $71.96
- Marine Vinyl Carpet GLUE Adhesive RV / Outdoor - 2 Gallons = $55.00
- Marine Grade Carpet (Boat / Marine Carpet 16 oz - 6') = $200.00
- Continuous Hinge SS 48” @ $17.00 x 3 = $51.00
- SS Hardware nuts & bolts = $100.00
- Door latches @ $17.00 x 2 = $34.00
- Nav Lights @ $20.00 x 1 = $20.00
- Extra exterior carpet for storage @ $30.00 x 1 = $30.00
- Gas gauge = $35.00
- Switch plate / wires = $35.00
- Rope and misc = $30.00
- 1/2 and 1/4 X 3/16” Rivets 50 pk @ $7.99 x 4 = $31.96
- Boat Seats @ $20.00 x 4 = $80.00
- Seat Pedestals @ $85.00 x 3 = $255.00
- Battery @ $100.00 x 1 = $100.00
- Gas line = $25.00
- Live well hose = $25.00 x 2 =$50.00

Adorable! You are blessed!!! Congrats, on so many levels.
Good wholesome family fun. Great project.
Fantastic job - this video is a great encouragment to other's looking to rebuild and older boat.
Great boat. Awesome memories for your kiddos.
Wow! I wish that I could've seen this before I rebuilt my boat in 2015! Beautiful work!
Really like how you,had the stats in there at the end! Looks sharp!
Your video saved the day. Took apart the front of ours before remembering how the aluminum sat in it. Great build!
Looking good! Cute kids too. Thanks for sharing your work. :)
Nice job. Beautiful results. I have a 1994 Spectrum that was sitting under a pine tree for ten years. I had to gut it also. I found that all the blown foam had absorbed water and was useless. In addition, the interior rails trapped the water in the foam. I had to drill weep holes so the water made it to the bottom of the boat. I also used sheet foam, cut to size, so there was no more water back up. Great boat. Enjoy your project.
Really nicely done! And I love the addition of the kids and funny messages.
Looks like a great family project. One you can all enjoy in the future.
Enjoyed the video with the family helping. We had two little ones also, look out they grow up soooo fast. We’re lucky enough they still live in the area with their careers. I’m getting ready to do some improvements on my fishing boat also. Your vid gives me confidence thx
Great job there! Did a similar rebuild on mine - turned out great too.
I love boat restoration projects. It’s even better when you can get the family involved. Great job!
i love boats. i used to have a 25 foot cal jensen sail boat that i lived on in the channel islands marina in oxnard ca. and ive had a glastron and a canoe and now i have a 12 foot lonestar. im getting to be around 45 years old and im thinking i want to start looking around for a 27 foot center console ocean boat because i really love the ocean fishing.
Nice work, well done!
You must be one heck of a aluminum welder. Awesome fabrication/ rehab on the rest of the craft. Your quality manager’s are adorable too.
looks like you had a pretty good team helping you it turned out beautiful
Amazing work! I wish I could make progress on my own restoration project like you have. What I run into is details suck up time like a black hole. I fiberglassed my deck wood then carpeted it so that sucked up some time right there. You have a family memory that will last forever. :)

Thank you for the kind words. The project was well worth the effort and indeed a great memory with the family. Good luck with your boat it sounds like you're close to competition.
Nice work. Similar to my project starcraft boat. I want to leave the decks without rug finish with epoxy deck paint with grit.
Great that the whole family got involved, it looks like you had fun ( and kids are such little sponges for knowledge, these activities are priceless for development).
Awesome job!!! Looks great. Hoping you have a video coming on the paint work. I am also doing pretty much the same thing with a Sylvan 18' Pro Fisherman starting this fall. Thanks !

Do you have any pictures of your boat now?
Great job. kudos to you and the support staff .
Great Family. Nice Boat.
Nothing better than the work of love with loved one, you remind my 2 girls working with us on boat when young, now they both have great jobs due to their strong working ethics, thanks a million man.
Nice job. Great Family.
Nice that you involved your whole family 👍
Thank you very much for the cost break down. It is much appreciated! 👌👌 Great job on the boat!
Turned out nice . I’m in process of trying to find either a spectrum or Starcraft to build into a fishing boat . Hope your enjoying her after all the hard work
Great work, very thorough restoration!
Lucky guy !! Great job what a family
Nice job mate! Respect!
Man, you have some serious skills!
u did good, especially involving your family, money cant buy that
Great job i just restored one with my son we had a lot of fun doing it now lots of fun on the lake
Nice Work, sold many of these Spectrum Boats; was a Brunswick owned boat div. Most were packaged with Force engines.
You did a fine job! MARANATHA , GREETINGS FROM TAMPA FLORIDA
Time with family, priceless.
nice 1 m8, good to see the first officer an crew involved too
Job well done. I'd trust that vessel anywhere.
Great Job, I love these videos, I wanna learn how to modify my own boat.
Good work! I would love to hear to talk through these pictures and hear more of what you did.
Tremendously awesome job on the restoration. Congrats. You are blessed Bro.
I'm redoing my starcraft islander now. You did a fantastic job makes me look like a hack job lol this boat is kicking my butt.
The boat that I’m tearing down is identical to your but is 18’ . Your build turned out nice . I love your inspectors .
Impressive! Wish I had your skills.
Great job. I have a 16’ spectrum and only need a floor and pour foam. My winter project. 😊
What a beautiful thing. Not just the boat but the whole family involved!!
What a great family project that the girls will never forget. Nice job.
Wow. Tons of complex layout work.
Thank you
Good work, looks great!!
Great project, great family.
Great job, from over the pond in England, especially the two beautiful little experts, gorgeous little girls.
Отличная работа! Просто восторг.
Just bought our Father-Son project, a 1994 Spectrum 18 Sport that looks like this and inside is a pile of Aluminum parts and wood wrought in the flooring. Your video gives me hope and so many so many questions..

It's easier than it looks. Just take it one step at a time. Lots of great memories.
Nice job,,if I had a couple of expert consultants like you had I might try something like this,, hope you-all are enjoying your boat,,thanks for the video,,,
Beautiful job!
Awesome stuff
What a restoration job! Nicely done. I was just curious how you installed the pedestal seat bases. I’m looking to do the same for my boat. I have a wooden floor deck and wanted to know what is the most effective way to ensure longevity, stability, and sturdiness for a safe and smooth ride?
Love great job , great family
by the way awesome boat. well worth the effort. i just wish more people would make the effort to roll up their sleeves and restore vs discard
Nice job to all of you !
Awesome job! I got the same motor on my 77' 17ft Crestliner Apollo.
Great work!
Job well done. You did good. You did well.
Do you know if you make the livewell wider on the 16 sport?
Great work.
great job thanks for that
Great job, very meticulous! I have a 96 Spectrum Sport and I would like to touch up that paint. The white paint you used on the transom, was it a good match for the original white? If so, what brand and color was it? Thanks!
Holy s$@t man that boat looks MINT! Great job sir! That’s a boat to pass down the generations:)
Nice job and nice new boat
Looks great buddy
Family time...priceless!
Great job
Nice job 👍 👏
nice job.. great family.....
That was excellent work! 👌🏾
Nice to see good help.
Thank you, great job, loved the dogs at the bow haha
lots of great work. I would use all marine ply ( no voids), and then saturate it with epoxy diluted with acetone ( home made penetrating epoxy) with lots of attention to the edges. And then paint. The epoxy will seal it and keep it from rotting. Making your efforts last a Lot Longer !
good work, lots of fun ahead.
Beautiful work 👏
Nice Job on the boat.
Awesome job
Fantastic!
great family project, well done
very nice mate!!!
Nice job.
Awesome!!!
You are very talented
very bice job. I thiink your inspeckters just wanted it done so they could get out in the boat
Fantastic job. I'm surprised you were able to complete it in only 120 hours. Is this the first boat you rebuilt or is this your hobby? Getting the family involved is great. The kids will remember this forever. Enjoy the boat.
fast worker Victor !
Great job.
i love your work I seen a lot these used boats going up for sale around in my area on fb and Kijiji thinkking of doing my own kinda project too nice vids btw
Fantastic restoration
