I am running three blade Cleaver props! Like I said the boat get up on top when you are in rough water but when you are in smooth water the boat will not lift. For what I here is that I should be running four blade props with what I have & by doing this it should lift much better.

All the props had a porpoise at certain speeds, which is normal for a tunnel hull. The cleavers were the worst. .If I ran through the porpoise with the propshaft level with the bottom of the boat, then lifted and trimmed the engines it worked best. Do you have lift as well as trim or are your engines mounted at a certain height?
