Default Re: Need ideas to stop porpoising?

Good deal - sounds like it might stay on plane at a lower speed also. If running in flat water, you might be able to squeeze a little more max rpm/mph out of it with trim adjustment. Most folks trim out until it either starts to porpoise or the prop ventilates, then trim down just enough to stop that. This will minimize hull wetted surface and drag, but won't be the best ride! Trim tabs should also be all the way up for max speed.
