It will be perfect for your area. You won't believe the ride.

Motion is king! Ask Espen about it. He runs his boat all the time (when he is not repairing the 2,5s....) :D :D

PS. I am sending Greg a video with that boat in tomorrow, and if he put it here on S&F, you can see for your self!

Have a nice day!

I have been racing a 30 foot motion offshore for 10 years. We then moved up to a 35 in Modified then Supercat. The boat structurally is very sound. the finish...not a skater. One of the original owners of Motion was Jay P who now makes the Spectre. The deeper tunnel will give you a much better ride than your previous ride. Expect 95-100 mph. a 30' actually goes faster than a 25' (with 2.5's) due to increased tunnel

Yes, I live in N. Jersey but I trailer all over. I have a house on Great Bay in S. Jersey. Looks like we will be gathering at Tices Shoal this summer.

Are you the guy who bought my friend Doug's 23 Sanger and painted it all white?

[godspeed]

No, I never had a Vector. I think you might be thinking of Dan, he's from Mystic Island where my summer home is.

I'm picking my new boat up this Saturday. It's in my avitar, (a 24 Skater).

Doug is one of my best friends. He bought your Sanger from an old friend of mine out of Mystic Islands. Looks like you did a nice job redoing it. You will like a Motion much better though.

If you are interested I'll dig them up, I have some pics I took of your Sanger before you owned it.

[godspeed]

yeh send some pics of it id like that it was dan i was thinking off from mistic he has a vector now he had a skater 21 before but send some pics my email is [email protected] this summer is going to be really cool we have to take some trips w the boats too it looks like im going to buy the boat on wed as long as it is what he says it is the boat was repainted and a new interior in it now and ill add my power to it and ill be ready to fly if any body is looking for a sanger cat with out power my number is 732 232 9483 my name is kevin

[godspeed]

the new boat is comming from virginia and ill be seing it on wed he might do delivery for me , ill let you know about the sanger if you want call me at 732 232 9483 im kevin

[at100plus]

Ok, no, it wasn't Dan, that was me, I had a 21 Skater, sold it and bought a Hydrostream Virage (not Vector) for 1 season while making some investments now I'm moving up to the 24 Skater

Is the motion you are buying the all white one Krazycat or something like that has it posted? (It has some green trim, and it used to have green striping on the side)

That has changed hands a couple time recently, make sure you check it out good before you buy, it has been for sale for a while.

[godspeed]

ok now i remeber sorry for the mix up thats cool im glad your getting the 24 i remeber you saying you missed the 21 but congrats that sound awesome make sure you send me a pic of that new boat of yours

kevin

[godspeed]

100 plus no im buying the red and white one that was on here for a little while it is in virginia he repained the red and the white was fine it sounds like im going to complete the deal on wed the boat was from nj a couple of years back let me know if you know history

[at100plus]

You should have mail.

[godspeed]

got the mail the boat looks hot !!!! very cool

[apache21]

Godspeed the boat can handle anything you throw at it. I have a 24 Skater and it will handle the same chop a 30 foot vee can handle. Now your body is a diferent question

[at100plus]

Here comes the CAT vs. VEE debate - zoiks! :eek:

[godspeed]

oh sh-t lets keep the the peace... v"s are nice and tunnels are nice thanks for the info. :D

[supercat]

I have to laugh when I see this stuff. First let me say I love cats. I have raced my 30' motion then a 35' motion in the APBA offshore circuit for years. On a day when the seas are less than 3' we run hard, no problem. If the seas are 3' or more, we get passed by the A class boats which are 25-30' single engine inboards running 75 mph. Once you move to an inboard cat, all bets are off. The extra weight (and obviously length) lets you run fast in significant seas. I have seen more than my fair share of outboard cats stuff in 3 - 4 foot seas. NO THEY WON'T run with a 30' v hull in anything 3' or over unless you have deep pockets and a desire to get hurt. I think the big problem is allot of folks misjudge what a 3' wave looks like! The problem with a 3' wave is the 3' hole behind it. jump the wave, trip on the transom and stuff. (can we say ouch!)

[godspeed]

just picked up the boat wed and it looks great better then expected hope this baby rides as good as it looks thanks for all of the help guys kevin

[at100plus]

YEA! PICS, send pics. Which one was it, was it on S&F? I just have to make it through one more day of work then I go get mine :D

[fastercat]

[godspeed]
