I like the 4 blade bravo props as well. The Hyod's don't have enough blade area for that heavy of a boat. Like lil Red said try a set of stock bravo 4 blades and see if that makes a differance. Also do a sanity check on all your inddicators. Make sure level is -0- for both drives and tabs. With the half cabin your TG is about 450lbs lighter in the nose that a full cabin version so she will carry the nose a little higher they are more sensative to trim also.
As said before most TG's have the porpoise issue in flat water until you get to 55-60mph.

i would try to add a little weight in the nose of boat,see what happens better than dragging tabs seems like most of the straight bottom guns with the half cabin hop until 60 or so,we converted a 92 gun from trs to bravo afew years back left the motors foward installed imco torrisional shafts,had to move the motors foward about a inch from trs location,was a pain to align but the boat worked perfect,the customer was really happy with the speed increase but was really happy that it took away all the hop at low speed and now doesn't have to reach for tabs once the boat gets on plane

My TRS Gun has 3 blade 23 pitch Mirage Plus on it. A little tough getting on plane loaded but once up runs great. 65 mph, Thinking of 4 blade bravo 1 Props, What is the Pro-Cons and what pitch? 22or 24
