Best 30' Boat?
 

As the title says, what do you all think is the best all around 30'? I know this will be impossible, but try to keep it factual and no bashing...

Oh yeah, new 30's too, not older.

Re: Best 30' Boat?
 

There is NO right answer to your question. You WILL get plenty of opinions though.

Re: Best 30' Boat?
 

Yeah I know, you're right. Screw it.

What are all of your opinions on various 30 footers?

No CC's, something with a cabin, twins, off shore hull.

cigarette mystique t/s, vice t/s... real 30 ft OFFSHORE

Re: Best 30' Boat?
 

Sutphen!!

Re: Best 30' Boat?
 

Powerquest made a pretty sweet 30ft Revenge. Hopefully PQ will be making them again soon. I believe it does 80 - 82 with 496HO Mag and there is a PQ 30ft owner with 525's seeing 93mph.

Here's one for sale.

Re: Best 30' Boat?
 

Adrenaline 30. A pic is worth a thousand words. oops, i better go find another 199pics to get to $200,000 worth. :D

Re: Best 30' Boat?
 

It doesn't have the biggest cockpit in the world, but I love my 30' Phantom.

Re: Best 30' Boat?
 

Sutphen, Sutphen, Sutphen!

Re: Best 30' Boat?
 

new sutphen 32 or old 31, 30 with twins single 32 sutphen, joker 28, superboat y2k in any order.

Re: Best 30' Boat?
 

Not be the most expensive nor the finest. But can hang with them all!!! 30' Baja Outlaw!

Re: Best 30' Boat?
 

31' Sonic has a lot of creature comforts and has great offshore capabilities. Twin 496 HO's the boat runs in the mid to high 70's. Full head, galley, pull out sleeper bunk mid ship, f/water, 110 volt outlet for use when hooked up to shore power as well as you can get a/c.

Theres more but I dont want to take up the whole page!:D
Definetly one to look at!

Re: Best 30' Boat?
 

Funny this thread was posted today. I have been poking around a few 30' with twin small blocks. This is my short list:

1. 32 sutphen
2. 32 sunsation
3. 28 saber

Re: Best 30' Boat?
 

35' Fountain... someone had to say it :)

Re: Best 30' Boat?
 

29.9 Activator

Re: Best 30' Boat?
 

Think you have seen this one before. :D

Re: Best 30' Boat?
 

Looks vaguely familiar.... :drink:

Re: Best 30' Boat?
 

Yep, I was waitin for that. :evilb: :D

I see a lot of votes for the Sutphens, I've never seen one before, I'll hafta check 'em out. Looked at the new 33 Active Thunder too.

Catmando, looking for V's, although the cats are sweet too.

That Adrenaline pic is sweet, I'll hafta check those out too.

Of course my heart lies with Cig, and the Mystique/Vices look like stub-nosed versions of our TG, but I like seeing these other makes too.

AMT
Skater
Spectre

Re: Best 30' Boat?
 

Hey I looked at one at the Cleveland boat show. How in the heck can you do any maint. on them motors.. there is zero room in there

Re: Best 30' Boat?
 

Get Ready for a 30 Concept closed deck with 300 Optimax should be awesome! Makes its grand showing at the Miami Show.

Re: Best 30' Boat?
 

Well you mentioned newer so apparently price isn't that much of an issue, but had to weigh in here.

31 foot Cigarette Bullet. I know they are not the new variety, but they are real offshore boat. Rock solid and great ride.

Oops, did I mention that I had one for sale?? :):):)

Good luck whatever you decide on.

Re: Best 30' Boat?
 

on the less $$$ side i say 30 baja ol. on the more $$$ side i say 30 cig or adrenaline. a little bigger i would go with the 33 AT.

Re: Best 30' Boat?
 

Acitvator,Superboat,Powerplay 28,Fountain,formula,Saber there all good! :D

Re: Best 30' Boat?

Re: Best 30' Boat?
 

VELOCITY Tripps

Re: Best 30' Boat?

Re: Best 30' Boat?
 

It's not for me...

Re: Best 30' Boat?
 

28 saber

NK

Re: Best 30' Boat?
 

Gotcha
28 Sabers own!:cool:

Re: Best 30' Boat?
 

Apache Brave 28, but won't run on small blocks.

My 26' runs as good (or better) then most 30s.
May sell her in the spring for mid-20's.

Re: Best 30' Boat?
 

Scarab Panther....my .02

Re: Best 30' Boat?
 

Shameless plug for Pantera 28- they measure 30' easy with the platform- all relative whether you count beaks and platforms you can find a lot of similarities in 28-32 boats.:drink:

Re: Best 30' Boat?
 

I say 29 SCARAB!

Great in the rough, great power to weight ratio. You can get them in single or twins configuration!!

Of course I am a lil BIASED!!!!LOL!!!

Re: Best 30' Boat?
 

Mark they will be previewing the boat in Miami so I won't have the boat for AC, I will have the 30 Concept in AC.

Re: Best 30' Boat?
 

31 Sonic......

Re: Best 30' Boat?
 

Let me tell you that 32 Sutphen is a monster!! Just about every poker run in our area, no one can catch it (short of an Outerlimits or big Sutphen),40 ft boats are left in the dust.
