2000 32 wants to porpoise
#11
And Matt's small block Dominator did not porpoise or chine walk, though it was only a 70 MPH boat. But they did run Mirage Plus instead of Bravo I props on the small block boats. I know Teague liked the balance of the small block Dominators better than the big block ones.

they also built 6-7 single engine 32s also
and know 1 has good power and breaks 90
so doubt its stern weight issue
prop and driving,,,,,,,,,
straight bottom with pad likes a little flatter running to utilize the pad length
now if u have the bow weighted down with lots of interior and supplies
and boat tries to bow steer running little flatter then yes could be a cg problem
to try adding transom weight or move weight out of bow
as if was a bb from factory could be added weight in build up front
all guessing but as stated gotta try bow lifting props with less trim 1rst

Thought the 4 blades produced less bow lift than three blades. More blades more stern lift. What about drive hieght. Higher less bow lift .Or trying out hydromotive QlV ?? Someone must have a prop test option by you.

Try switching props so they turn out instead of in (looking at top edge of props) You just have to run shifters in reverse to go forward. It's free and takes little effort.. that will give less porpoise. Worked on my last boat. Had pad bottom 32ft. Not sure if you will loose top end if so not much

I had a 32ft velocity. Drove like a bass boat. Always had the tabs just touching the water with little trim. Otherwise it would be airborne when first chance it had. Very loose. But reversing the props allowed tabs up and more trim. Had hydros on it
