At the lower speeds you should be able to get it out with the center tab. At 90 it shouldn't be porpoising still, try a diffrent trim setting.

My dad used to have a spectre.. It started porpusing right at around 70mph.. Like they said above... Power through it and you should have no problems.. Try tucking it in a little and throttle through it.

Good luck and I wish I was in your shoes!

Same for ours. Actually, same size motors too.

About 65-85 on mine like they say power thru or cruise at 60mph.
Enjoy
