[QUOTE="brewfish, post: 77042, member: 550"] I've adjusted the motor every which way. If I move the pin to the next notch down it doesn't do it but then it plows through the water and is obviously set too low. It only at very top speed that it does this. I don't think more weight is going to solve the problem either. I had a friend of mine siting in the bow and it still did it. The hull hook thing worries me. There could very well be the problem. I know the trailer bunks are a little short for the boat and I think I remember seeing evidence of that on the very back end of the boat. I wasn't bad but you could see a slight indention where the bunks ended I remember right. If that is indeed the problem then I guess I'm just screwed because I don't know how I could change it. It's only at WOT that this is happening. A friend of mine has a 16' Ghenneo with a 25hp 4 stroke yammy that does the same thing at WOT and I know his boat is totally flat and straight. I've read about trim tabs and I guess they are supposed to solve just that problem. I've also looked at those fins you put on the motor that are advertised as correcting the porpoising problem. My only fear about the motor fins if it they would void the warranty. :?: If anyone has experience with using either of these products please chime in on how they worked for you. [/QUOTE]
