Re: 30' outboard set ups
Not 30' but running a 28 Skater 300 promax's 20" mids with Sportmaster lowers, 1.62 gears turning 15x34. The prop shaft is 1 3/4" above the bottom of the lowest part of the boat.

They are the older promax's. So far the only lower unit problems have been prop shaft seals. I check the lowers just about everytime I take the boat out so no major issues yet. How much water pressure are you running?

14.5x30s turning out. Sportmaster lowers and 1.87:1 gears. 2.5efi 260s and 96.2gps @ 7800 last weekend. I am still learning to drive her, so that 3.8 mpg is a reasonable goal.
Has anyone tried spinning their props IN on a 30? I thought of doing it, but it isn't how I would run the boat from day to day.
Haven't measured the x-dim, yet, but the boat was dialed in at Lake-X. I doubt I can teach those guys anything about setup.

Re: 30' outboard set ups
the 28 skater is probably 1200-1500 lbs lighter than your 30..... they list the the boat at 2100 (unrigged?) with a 3500 max weight and the 30 spectre OB is listed at 4500...
