Amazing how much more presence a 30 has compared to a 28.

No wonder it's slower!

That 30 makes that 28 look more like a 24. :eek: :D

You're right, it might be a 24 ! It might even be a 21!

The 30' is actually what other manufacturers would call a 31' boat. It is 30'8" and the beam is only 2" narrower than a 32' Skater.

9'2" beam (110")

The 28' Skater is 8'4" beam (100")

They are way different in size just as the photo shows them to be.

Until it gets really rough! My buddies 28 bounces around alot more in rough slop. We cruise 80mph side by side through our local rough spot, he has to drive aggressively and work it, we just sit there and smile. But, yes, you are right, he pulls me on top end in smoother conditions.

I'd really like to see the 30' with a pair of 300x motors.

The xs are not as strong as the 300x and I don't know if they are as strong as the 300 ProMax either. Very similar but 300x's would make a difference.
