[QUOTE="JL8Jeff, post: 357314, member: 12995"] My 1652 porpoised really bad with the 40 hp prop motor. I couldn't get past 1/2 throttle. I was going to put a fin on it but decided to get a jet outboard. Even with the jet it porpoised and I ended up putting on some transom wedges which basically will trim the motor in farther. I still had to put some weight up front to help and it's much better but still not perfect. My old 17' Wahoo with a 90 hp Merc had the fin on it and I didn't like it so I took it off. It would start to porpoise so I ended up putting it back on and it was fine with the fin. [/QUOTE]
