I don't have the factory style one, but i have ridden behind one and it works okay for the front seats but does nothing for the back... i am having one glassed in that wraps around, a little involved, but it should pay off when running 100...

I have the factory installed deflector on my 30' and love it. We can run 100 and my wifes visor stays on her head. The back seat sucks from what I have been told, but from where I sit it is great.

Have to compliment Jay P. on his 30' Spectre that he is building. I was finally out for a blast in one with a new proud owner(berns29scarab) and boy was I impressed with how the boat ran and handled. Myself and others who rode along with Bern that day all agreed on how phenomenal of a boat that Jay and staff of Spectre Powerboats has been building for quite some time.

CONGRATULATIONS to Bern and also to SPECTRE for building such a quality boat and a special THANK YOU to Rolfe and Francine of Pro Roc Marine in Bricktown, NJ for taking great care of my buddy Bern with his purchase.

i'm hoping to get mine out in the Ocean this Sunday for a real test. The Barnegat bay on weekends is usually a solid 2ft white capped chop and after running in that yesterday i'm looking forwards to a little Ocean Running....DPT thanks for the comps...always an open seat

Bern -- I bought the 97 from pa that I think you were looking at. If so, you missed a great deal on a great boat. 91 mph yesterday (gps) with 5 people and full of fuel on very flat water and not trimmed very well.
