Looking for a 30' motion with 300's. The earlier style pleasure cockpit not the poker run seating. I've looked closely at Boattrader, powerboatlistings, classifieds here, and scream and fly. Just wondering if anything else is out there?

Would lean more towards a 28 Skater. If you have a certain budget, i would than go with Spectre. Just my opinion.

Budget would keep me out of a 28 skater. Can you elaborate on the Spectre? I began looking at those but am more interested in the Motion because of the wider tunnel and overall width. Thanks

Lots of Motion's had delamination issues. Also Spectre in my opinion has a much better laminiation scheduled and much better finish. Speed wise there just about the same. My opinion.

I didn't know about the delamination issues. I really like the size of the cockpit in the 30' Motion.

Motions delam problems are pretty well known. They seem like a big cat in the water. A Friend picked up a Spectre used a couple of years back.Check the rigging. The rigging was terrible and heard of a second Spectre with rigging issues also.As Skatermike stated I think the Spectre is better built. I am interested also in moving up to a 28 or 30 Captiva also. Keep us posted on what you buy and how you like it.

Will do! .. Been dragging anchors around for the last 8 years in the 311, it's time for some speed now.

I would like to more about the delamination problems, I am running a 2009 Motion XP with twin 300xs motors, that I am considering selling. It is down in Havasu right now as I am having some upgrades and rigging work down. I am working to make it a little faster boat.

I think them guys have been staring in their gooey gelatinous Skeeter fuel tanks too long. Now there is the real issue they hate to talk about.
How many of you Skeeter boys pull up to the Sunoco station and fill it up with 93 without freaking out about that little decal that says ; May contain 10% or less Ethanol ?
What kind of coring do them Skeeter's have ? Amazing how the cheapest made boat's are held in such high regard. Bet you fella's had to run out and buy a new I Phone 6 last month .
There are guys who can break an anvil with a rubber mallet. Don't blame the hull on an incompetent owner/rigger/driver .

What's the story on Triple Shoot Motion 30 for sale on Boat Trader? Does any one have any details about it's history. It has a pair of 300X motors on it now. Thanks
