[QUOTE="Waterwings, post: 26068, member: 123"] I'm certainly not an expert concerning jackplates, but that could be one of the problems causing the porpoising. Do you have electric trim on the motor, and able to adjust it (in/out)? If so, try trimming it in or out some and see if that helps. The Tracker I used to have would porpoise (at higher speed) if I didn't have the motor trimmed properly. As far as the foam, I don't believe it would add any [i]real[/i] structural rigidity to the hull. There will be some more members adding some thoughts to this as soon as they see the post. [/QUOTE]
