Re: Classic 22 porpoise?
I drove a 22 classic yesterday that had a real porpoise problem. What is it about the TURBO Prop that makes the differance? Which pitch Turbo should be used? The boat has a 496 Mag ( 375HP). How about prop slippage, what could be causing that?

I Personally am running 25p on a 18 classic 1999. No porpoising, but I on occasion can get a very slight chine around 70mph or so. I can walk & trim it out. To throw in my 2 cents on props, yes props can make a huge difference. Sometimes even brand to brand with the same pitch. Differences come in to play with the rake, cup & height of the props blades, not just the pitch. What may work fine on one boat or hull, may not work ok on another.. Jamie

I have an '05 22 Classic w/stock mirage plus. porpoising is a problem at lower speeds with passengers in the back seat. With 1 or 2 people in the boat the porpoising is easily stopped with the trim. I don't have to drop the tabs.

I have a 22' classic with a 502 and a Bravo 1. I switched from a Mirage Plus to a Turbo 1 and the porposing problem went away and picked up a couple of MPH. I put the Mirage back on just to see the difference and the porpoising returned. I think it's just the wrong prop for that boat.
