[QUOTE="mphelle, post: 432877, member: 7962"] Battery project looks good, you have a lot more energy than I do. Your pods were mounted high by someone who thinks keeping them out of the water while on plane will reduce drag. In your case when you try to raise the bow with trim, the pods tip down catching the water and forcing the bow back down, and so on. [ATTACH type="full" alt="IMG_0446.JPG"]91642._xfImport[/ATTACH] Others, including Beavertail, think the bottom front on the pod should be flush and smooth with the bottom and angled up about a half inch in the rear to allow some trim. Ranchero50 had similar issues with his pods and used an interesting solution to porpoising. https://www.tinboats.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=83&t=8385&start=240 about halfway down the page Your pods have the wrong angle to just move them down, which is why I suggested removing them to test the porpoising theory.
