Not if you know how to run one. We raced a 36 Spectre and it never skipped a beat. We also ran a 32 Skater to 170mph. You cant beat a Skater.Period

LIB,
Yep, if you can dream it, JC and design it and build it. Just got the Nordic back from Mystic after they wet sanded it and clear coated with 3 coats of clear, and it looks brand new! I need to post some before and after pics. People ask me if it's a new boat, I couldn't be more pleased in how it turned out.
Thanks JC and crew,
Mean Dean

I own the 2005 30 Eliminator in the classifieds. I frequently drive the boat over 100 (usually just a short burst). It is capable of 130+; at 120 it feels very comfortable for the driver and front seat passenger. As for the passengers in the rear they get blasted with air and no holding a drink or it will get sucked from the container. My point is if you are planning on taking friends that don't want their skin peeled off, plan to do 80 or less in the Eliminator.
The 30 can handle a 2 to 2.5 chop and still be enjoyable. Not saying you can’t go in bigger water but it is not the most fun.
My boat has a tunnel tab the only time I use it is to help get on plane.

I'll admit I'm somewhat biased but my vote goes towards Nor-Tech...they might not be the fastest but they are in my opinion the best looking cat...moving or sitting still they look hot...
