Default Re: Need ideas to stop porpoising?

I was out again yesterday and it was a fairly calm day, had two of my late-teen grandsons w/me and I had moved a total of 60#'s of lead to the front of the boat. To my surprise, the porposing has just about (90+%) gone away. The first few trip we had a lot of chop and rolling water and that may have had more to do with it than anything. I did lower the trim tabs slightly, don't know if the were even or not had not set them prior to going out. As soon as things calm down around here and I have time I will dig more until the problem is solved.
I know I had a friend who had a Wellcraft w/225 Suzuki on a bracket and he had really had a lot of porposing on his boat. He has since sold it so I doubt if he ever solved the problem there.
