Re: 30 ft. Cat in rough water?
We ran a Poker run earlier this year across Tampabay in bad weather, conservatively 5-7' & with no consistency. Speed2lead in his Spectre ran with us & was the only cat to make it to the hotel that night. The ride across was that bad that I broke the needle off my Livorsi Tach from the pounding. Not to start a cat verse V-hull debate, the cats either broke mounts, could't get on a plane or were swamped with water. On the way back the following day I had Speed2lead follow us & we did't think they were going to make it across the Bay. PM Speed & ask how he & his wife enjoyed the ride.In 2-3's no problem, however when it gets big & sloppy the 30 ain't big enogh to get on plane imho.

Re: 30 ft. Cat in rough water?
steve the boat has to run better than that. i have a 98 30 spectre with 2003 300x's, spinning 15x32 3 blades only to 64-6500 rpms and my best was 106. full of fuel and people it'll run 99-101 everyday. peak power for the x's is 6800 rpms and my motors are deep. x is 1 9/16's which is very conservative. i've thought about a v as well because i do miss spending alot of time in the ocean but would have to be a helluva deal to convert me. if i were going to a v would have to be 32ft min and run 85 plus and even then i'd have to think long and hard. nothing like running my boat in 2-3's at 90 and not feeling a thing.
