Why does my bow bounce when my trim is up high
 

Seems like i get better speed the higher my trim is set.. but sometimes even half-way up the now starts bouncing up and down like crazy then i have to pull the trim down to stabilize the boat.

Why does it do this?

its called porposing. first thing i would look at are the props.

its trying to carry the bow, then dropping it, then carrying it.

I have a total no name prop that came with the boat.. another reason why i need a steel one..
Thanks for the info.

Baja Force 235, 330HP 454ci, bravo 1 outdrive.
The prop that came with it is new.. my buddy who knows props says it's a POS $2 prop..

There should be a number stamped on the side of the prop that will tell you the pitch.

I have the same boat and it used to have the same engine. What speed and rpm do you get at WOT? Also, the prop that you have , is it stainless steel or aluminum?

The faster you go...The more you can trim it up...Prop will help too....mess with your cruise speeds and vary the trim...MHO
