2003 Salt Shaker Custom Edition 30

What stands out on this Salt Shaker is how thoughtfully the cockpit is laid out for serious crew work. High, secure gunwales, wide side decks, and a clean, unobstructed transom let you move fast when lines are tight. The folding tower is a real asset: up for spotting weed lines and birds, down when you want a low profile or easier storage. In the cuddy, there’s enough room to escape the sun, stow extra gear, or grab a quick nap between runs. The ride has that solid, heavy-feel punch through slop that keeps you running when lighter hulls are throttling back.

In this region, conditions can swing from glassy mornings to stacked afternoon chop, and this hull is built to take that in stride. The deep forefoot and weight distribution let you keep your speed when the breeze comes on, while the wide beam keeps things steady when you’re drifting or chunking. Long runs to distant structure are realistic thanks to the generous fuel and efficient cruise, and the enclosed transom with full swim platform adds a sense of security when backing down in a confused sea. Shade from the hardtop, a protective helm layout, and a true overnighter cuddy make full-day and multi-day trips comfortable in this climate.
