The Pacemaker 30 Sportfisherman is a good-looking boat with a still-modern profile and comfortable accommodations below.  She was offered with or without the lower helm station, which came at the expense of one of the salon settees.  Both floorplans have the galley and head aft in the salon where access from the cockpit is the most convenient.  The Pacemaker 30 Sportfisherman proved to be a popular design over the years due to her clean lines and affordable price.  A competent sportfishing boat, her large cockpit should easily satisfy the requirements of most weekend anglers.  In 1978, Pacemaker engineers combined the flybridge into the deck/cabin mold thus making the bridge an integral part of the superstructure.  Standard 225hp Chryslers cruise at 20-21mph, and the top speed is around 31mph.  Note that the Pacemaker 31 Convertible (introduced by the new Pacemaker Yachts in 1988 and no relation to the old Pacemaker company) uses the same Pacemaker 30 tooling, but includes several modern updates and design improvments.
