What speed are you cruising at where it porpoises? Under 40-45 mph? I usually cruised at 45-ish to eliminate the porpoise. The hydromotive prop brought the porpoise speed down to about 35 mph but required much more trim at WOT on that boat. Unfortunately that hull isn't very good at slow cruising. Usually my cruise speed has always been 45-50 mph and no issues there using a bit of trim too.

Lake was flat.
No good performance numbers yet, got 57 GPS, but the boat was a little full . .. .
Approval from my daughter and 4 German exchange students we took for a ride:
