My friend at the marina has a 30 Spectre Cat with twin300SX outboards. Boat cruises without effort about 100mph on almost any kind of water. Very stable boat in rough water and high speed turns. I am very impressed with it however I have to agree with some of the other posters in this thread regarding cabin space.
The Spectre has none to speak of but has some storage because of the outboards.
At last years poker run I got a chance to go on a 52 Nor-Tec and it alt least had a place to lay your head down for the night.
I still like my big Chris for its creature comforts.............................

Yeah but…most of the time we just take our old tired Skater and just "toy" with about any V out there (now I didn't mess with the OL with 1650s). We can usually see them in the distance, catch them, run with them for a bit and be cordial, then get bored and walk away. I'm sorry fellas, but we all want to be first. We all like to see people oogle over our boats. That's what it's like to own a big cat plain and simple.

Tough to tell with the fantastic camera work lol, But it look like those sticks still have room to go forward?, and tachs appear straight up? 5k rpm?, 711 looks to be aired out nicely. 48 foot vs 30 probably half the weight of the V and making similar power iirc. But outright speed was not my point, sitting with a windshield vs standing with out makes for a big difference in perception of speed and comfort imo.
I hate that the camera work was that rough but we kept crossing freighter wakes and I made him swear he wouldn't lose my iPhone out of the boat.

click on the picture that shows the stern with the outboards at the back the tunnel looks like it curves down, am I wrong? Regardless this is a tiny tunnel compared to a Skater, and also this boat is to small.
How many of these have been made?
