Looks like I stumbled across the right post! I too am having problems with porpoising. I have a 23 deep V with a 225 Verado. That's a lot of weight in the stern, not to mention my batteries are also mounted back there too. I have the Lenco tabs. I have been searching all over the web, including the forums and have learned different techniques to deal with it but the one that most intrigues me is worth bringing up here. Although tabbing the bow down helps, the boat still wants to porpoise. Somebody suggested that my prop is too far below the waterline - ie my engine is mounted too low. I checked and there are 3 other holes on the bracket that will allow the engine to be raised. I am thinking this is my next step. Anybody know more about this than I do? Thx
