Thanks for reaching out to us, and I'm super happy to hear you're chosing Shurhold to get your boat back to that "Show Room Shine" that we're known for!
So my recommendation (based on personal preference) is the 3100 original Dual Action Polisher. And here's why:This machine was the first one we offered in our Polisher line up.It's not too heavyIt's SUPER easy to useMANY accessories that our other Polishers do not currently have.
If you go with my suggestion, here's what you'll need for a 30' boat. Now, please understand these are just suggestions and based on your detailing style, you may consume more or less pads, chemical, etc.
But here we go!

I will also add in that in the video, Barry uses the Microfiber bonnet. This isn't necessarily needed, it just makes the job a little easier. You can use a regular Microfiber towel or purchase the bonnet here: https://shurhold.com/brite-bonnet-final-polish-pad/
