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

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
