A 30 foot cat would be too big for a single outboard motor, so I'm assuming you mean a single I/O?
If we're talking about I/O power, on a single application the motor would have to sit on the tunnel and would be very tall. The deck would have to made so tall that it will not make sense.
Predator has a 30 foot widebody cat, I would recommend two LSx motors placed in each sponson with IMCO -2 silver drives with integrated steering right on the drive itself
All you need are two 525HP LSx marine motors
The LS525HP EFI (dressed) with SS headers, plumbed ready for install but no driveline/drive is $25K each
The LS650HP EFI (dressed) with SS headers, plumbed ready for install but no driveline/drive is $31K each
carbureted LS570HP no exhaust LS3 6.2L motor $15K
IMCO drive is around $18K each
Arneson drive kit would work great
The XR drives with Sport Master Shorty would work as well

Thanks, a friend was considering the warlock in the classifieds, bravo drive and supercharged. The one I knew that was around here(24-25) ate bravos pretty regularly, but he would run out into Galveston Bay where it can get choppy in a hurry.

DCB does a single 29
Eliminator does a single 28
Nordic does a single 28
all the above have a center pod and I agree with comment earlier, don't see how the boat would work right without a center pod.
