Capable of triple-digit speeds, sure-footed maneuverability and exceptional handling, the Spectre 30 has gained a following among powerboat enthusiasts.

Design Philosophy
The Spectre 30 is a solidly built speed machine. Small enough to trailer and drive on inland lakes and rivers and large enough to go offshore, it is one of the most versatile catamarans on the market, and is sure to turn heads. The 30 was the model of choice for the Lake X Boat, a team project between Mercury Marine and Spectre. (Link or picture of Lake X Boat).

The 30 can be rigged with stern drives or in a dual or triple outboard configuration. Built to race, the 30 has a reputation as a top performer, winning national championships in Pro-Stock and Stock classes the year it was introduced, and going on to win the Stock World Championship.

The hull design features two-stepped sponsons, and the running surfaces are fitted with two lifting strakes up front and one aft.

State-of the Art Construction and Materials
You will immediately notice the attention to detail and quality of the construction, fit and finish of the 30’. We insist on quality in every detail in every boat we build, and the 30’ is no exception.

The 30’ is constructed using bi-axial and tri-axial fiberglass, with high-tech vinylester resin and composite Airlite core. The vacuum bagging process ensures that the hull is light-weight without compromising strength and durability. Kevlar reinforcements are employed at critical locations throughout, providing long-term integrity in even the most punishing race conditions.

Race-Ready Rigging and Hardware
From its Accon pop-up cleats, clean through-bolted aluminum rubrail, and flush mounted fuel fills and vents, all hardware has been carefully appointed for optimal performance while carefully integrating into the overall visual appeal of the 30.

All wiring is neatly race-mounted, with stainless cushion clamps and shrink sealed. From its aircraft-grade stainless steel hardware and powder coated railing, quality is apparent throughout. All attached hardware is through-bolted, using sturdy backing plates or embedded mounting plates in the hull and deck, to provide a solid connection point and to ensure long-term performance.

Performance
The 30 is quick to plane, and a comfortable ride in offshore conditions.

With its high-performance, light weight construction and efficient hull design, you not only benefit from quick acceleration, but also get a lot of range out of the 30 compared to its heavier counterparts. With fuel capacity of 134 gallons from dual aluminum fuel tanks, you will have adequate capacity for offshore cruising.

All Spectre boats are water tested on fresh water Lake Tarpon, and fine-tuned for optimal performance before they are prepared for delivery.

Features
The Spectre 30 features oversized, high-back racing bucket seats with carbon fiber backs and extreme-density foam to provide superior head, neck and back support up front as well as for passengers in back. Grab handles make welcome additions for passengers at triple-digit speeds.

The interior fiberglass cockpit liner is textured with a male non-skid surface pattern, and can be fitted with snap-in marine grade carpet for superior comfort.

Top of the line throttle and tunnel tab controls, hydraulic steering, and well positioned over-sized Gaffrig gauges add to the comfort and superior driving experience of the 30.
