[QUOTE="gatorglenn, post: 458343, member: 20097"] Ok, just going off the pics. It looks to be 3” below. One thing you can try, is to put a bead of jb weld on the edge of the transom. This will do the same thing as beating a hook in the bottom, as mentioned. Try 3/8” if you get no porpoising. File it down 1/8” at a time, until it starts again. Then you can have that bead welded on. At the size you need. Put the bead between the bottom straights on each side of the motor. But not in the middle in front of the motor. For years Ranger has been putting a pair of angle wedges on the mod V boats. For this same problem, instead of redesigning the hulls. But those wedges are to much. So a lot of guys are filing them down to a bead. This is something I have do for someone on there Crestliner mod v. So it’s very inexpensive but it does work.
