i owned a 98 30 spectre with 2003 300x's spinning 15x32 3 blades. boat was simply amazing. i put in XS of 150 hrs on this package. where i boat is usually 1-2 ft slop with the occasional 3's in the mix !! when i first got the boat i had the same issue with the slight porpoise. its common on smaller outboard cats. as a matter of fact i personally know of 2 32 skaters that if not trimmed properely DO THE SAME THING !! as you accelerate and the boats on plane, slightly trim her up until the porpose stops. if that doesnt work you may have to play with CG (center of gravity) and or engine height. I WOULD AND WILL BUY ANOTHER 30 SPECTRE without a doubt

a little porpous on mine from about 60-70...just let go of the wheel and accelarate it so that it goes to were ever it wants once the tunnel gets air it will turn the boat slightly then grab the wheel and no more porpous........Im extremely happy with the boat.......and loves the chop...........

If you have a good chop it's better. You have no choice but to have a giant tunnel tab. The spectre also tend to sneeze over the bow quite a bit and spray in your face espically at slower speeds. I kept mine about 3 months and absolutly hated it. The Motion on the other hand, never porposied. I think the ride was more solid. It didn't have the "hollow sound" when landing off of a big wave. The spectre always sounted like it was going to fall apart. I would hands down recommend the Motion.

you didnt know how to drive mine doesnt do that

First I'd like to see rfurr run the boats that Gino owns and drives. Second congrats to you on your purchase of the Motion!! It looks like a great boat!!! I think youll be very happy with her.

You maybe right. Maybe you can give me some lessons, as long as you promise not to go to fast!!
Infact, maybe we can trade! You teach me how to drive a cat, I can teach you punctuation!
