I was wondering what would you do if the porposing was happening at wot? Then is it typically a overtrimmed situation? Dwight

Remove the trim in limit spacers on the forward trim anchor pin. They should only be used with the Bravo3.

Thanks for all the imput. I talked with Hydormotive. They claimed the Mirage had the most bow lift and the bravo one prop was a second behind it. The boat was most violent with the Mirage and less with the Bravo 1 prop. I will be trying a quad 4 transom lifting prop this weekend. This option was the most reasonable to start with. I will post the results asap.

The result on the Hydromotive prop are in. The porpoise is still there. Still need a little tab to be able to trim drive. Nose does seem to settle at higher speeds. VIOLENT porpoise on deceleration. THe worst yet. I talked to a guy that had one of these boats and according to him, his handled great with a b1 or b3 or blackhawk. He suggested to check the bottom for straightness. Sure enough, there is some inconsistencies on the bottom. No it looks like I need the bottom blue printed.
