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

I have owned both and have been in several of each. Every Spectre I have been in Porpoised like crazy. From the time you plane off to 100. Sometimes you can't get them to stop porposing. 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.
