do a search here in OSO...the 30 Spectre is a great boat. i had a 1998 with 2003 300x's and she ran 107 on a conservative set-up...I WOULD DEFINATELY BUY ANOTHER ONE !! AND PROBABLY WILL

I purchased a new spectre 30 back in 98. I rigged the whole thing myself with twin merc 2.5s. I was able to take it a couple of times to lake X for tweaking. The best set up yielded 107. That was with 15x32 merc cleavers that had been thinned at a custom shop. I learned alot about set-up (engine height and a bunch of little things that add up to big gains).
I ended up adding a third engine which took it to 117 gps.
