[QUOTE="dhoganjr, post: 413879, member: 12925"] If you have the trim tabs all you have to do is take a hammer and block of wood and tap them down a bit. They are easily adjustable and will help. I would recommend the whale tale either way. With a tiller and most of the weight in the rear if will help out the most. When I first got my 1860 with the 115 fourstroke, it done the same thing, any trim and it would porpoise. The whale tail took care of it and made it a completely different handling boat. It will also give you the benefit of bumping the trim down a bit in heavy chop and waves, which will pull the bow down and help cut through the waves without having to slow down as much. I had Troutt's take care of mine back in 02' and have went there ever since. [/QUOTE]
