wont be over at the boat this week but about 6-7" above the keel (bottom of bracket is 4" above the keel). the lower unit and props are totally different so you'd be better off comparing to other members with a 300. Sounds like maybe a weight issue but i still don't really porpoise with a loaded yeti 110 against the transom and 100 lbs of ice in the fish box behind the leaning post. trim tabs will help but will only be a bandaid fix that will rob you of efficiency. any weight you can put up front will help with these hulls and you'll really notice it in 2-3' chop.

you may also want to check for a hook in the hull with a straightedge on the keel.
