[QUOTE="driz, post: 415048, member: 13373"] I got this boat as a project 2 years ago and used it for one season. It porpoised badly unless trimmed full down. It also acted quite badly in the handling department. I blamed it much on wet foam but upon tear down it wasn't that wet. The motor is an 83 4 cyl Merc 50 the boat is an 85 Tracker Tournament V17. Of course there are no jacks on this boat just power trim. It's mounted fully down on the transom and has been that way a long time I believe. So based on these pics....Motor trimmed full down, do you see any obvious reason it is prone to acting like Flipper on crack. #-o What it had on it originally I have no idea. Note, the pics look like the motor is hitting the back trailer roller but it's not, that's full down......about where that thing likes to run IIRC. [/QUOTE]
