this 30 footer is a Great boat and will run in any type of water a 30 spectre or 30 motion will run in , I actually think this hull is a little more advanced then the other 2, I mentioned ...
Running in real ocean 5 footers in anything is a handful at high speed " even a 41 Apache will be airborne running at speed " For comfortable cruising I would say 2 to 3 footer's with the occasional 4 footer running at 80 mph all day long in this boat , I also think this boat will handle larger water but not at that rate of speed . once over 6 foot real ocean waves go home in anything under a 38 footer and you will still get the **** beat out of you

I think that the hull is very capable to run quickly in both lake and offshore but keep in mind at the end of the day, this is a 30 foot hull.

I delivered a white C30 to Perf Boat Center in LOTO, and before the customer arrived, I took this pic. The tow vehicle is a full-size Suburban. The trailer is for a Skater 32B.

you can decide if this hull is big enough for offshore use:

Wonder what this hull rigged with scx 4 drives and ready for NA big blocks would cost and how it would perform...

Love the look of the boat, but I'd never go small blocks and I'm not a fan of the egg beaters.

Edit:

basically rigged ready to drop in turn key engines... wonder if they can match the cost of the 300xs outboards?

I think it's a great looking boat, especially for the $$. It even looks similar to a DW and I think they look really cool.

How is it going to compare when the imco cost more than a new 300xs cost by nearly 10k each?

It is a DW design. The molds went to AMT then I think yellowfin or another hull mfr. had them or copied them.
