You're looking at doing the exact same move I did about 10 years ago - went from a 29 Fever to a 30 Motion cat. Never regretted it. Only reason I sold the Motion was the birth of my daughter (but in retrospect, the Motion would have been fine for weekend family outings). If you can swing the 32 Spectre, do so - great boat. Good luck!

I know it was not mentioned but what about the 28' E-Ticket? I love the lines of them. Are they comparable to the 28' skater?

Like Big Block said, I love my Spectre 30 with out boards. It is built solid, it rides good, its fast, and it’s forgiving/predictable in the rough water. Of course it’s still a cat and you can get yourself into a bind if you don’t know what you’re doing.

hey guys what about the new sonic??? jk jk jk jk jk

The 32 Skater is not a real good outboard boat unless it has triples. Big boat. The 28 Skater is by far the best and fastest outboard boat you can buy with twins. I have owned a number of 30 Motions with triple and twin outboard. The extra length of the 30 over a 28 is helpful in rough water. You are not gong to find wrap around windshields or 4 seats in in the back of 30-32' Motions, Spectres or used Skaters. They are simply not wide enough and wrap windshields is something that is fairly recent with builders. The new 32 Skaters will fit the need and are big money versus used boats you asked about but they are so big they need inboard power. A 32 Skater with inboards is a fantastic boat. Under $80,000 I would look for a 30 Spectre, 30 Motion or 28 Skater with twin 300XS.

Not true on the Spectres.The new ones do come with wrap around windshields, 4 seats in the rear(optional) and capped deck.

The 2001 Spectre I just listed has a wrap around windshield and a 3 seater bench seat.

i got a 30 spectre with 300xs motors super mint lookin to sell

That 30 spectre PBC just listed looks like a nice ride
