[QUOTE="SC Designs, post: 438298, member: 20199"] Your craftsmanship looks great, but to me your spoon looks like it could be part of your problem. The spoon needs to look like the underside of a spoon that's in your drawer in the kitchen, all flowing and smooth. The angled edges of your spoon can disrupt the water flow and cause air to enter the pump. As far as the porpoising, I have learned that it is more of a weight distribution issue than a trim issue. I put the fuel tanks in the front of my builds under the front deck to help balance and equally distribute weight in the boat. The more weight in the rear means more bounce. Next time you take it out, put a buddy in the front of the boat and see if that stops the porpoising. Hopes this helps some. [/QUOTE]
