Capt Terry I did go through that thread it's an excellent resource! I think I could benefit from moving the console forward a bit with the leaning post. I went from a 387lb 2-stroke to a 420pound 4-stroke. I tried to offset that by taking two batteries out of the stern and moving to the console. I also moved the gas tank under the floor and foward about 3-inches. I put a new console and leaning post in that are both a tad heavier than what I had before and took out the foward casting platform so I did a few things that could have changed COG. I did use the boat last year before the changes, no porpoising under any condition.
I did do the work in a tent during the winter, my neighbors loved that! haha
I did raise the engine to the last hole a few days ago and it helped a bit! I can see the AV plate now, porpoising is limited to higher trim angles. I then installed the permatrim I read about on here, that definitely helped my slow speed planing i'm back down to around 15mph which is great. My next step is maybe dialing in the prop a bit more but I will do that after I go through a few more tanks of gas to get a feel for things in different conditions. In the meantime, I'm loving the boat!
