[QUOTE="nccatfisher, post: 433469, member: 10811"] I had a 2070 Lowe and it would porpoise like crazy. Even with all the batteries, fuel and one person up front and the motor trimmed all the way down at full throttle. Turns out it was a hull design issue as I found out later that several other people had this issue. I made adjustable tabs 4"X10" out of 3/16" aluminum and put them 4" in from the sides. I set them originally 5 degrees down from the line of the bottom of the boat. They would make the boat plane in mere feet but it slowed the boat 8 MPH. I kept messing and the magic spot was 1.5 degrees. It would plane in half the distance it used to, stopped that infernal porpoising and only slowed my WOT speed about 1 MPH. They are easily made and if you make them out of aluminum they will take as much abuse as you can dish out. [/QUOTE]
