I have a 2018 Z19 Sport fish and Ski with a Merc 175 and Mercury Tempest plus stainless three blade 22 pitch prop. Motor runs great, can make 60 mph, before I shut it down, with 4 ppl, all the gear, and fully trimmed out windy day.
BUT, this boat has a terrible porpoising response at low speeds, I can't see out of the front from the seat. Planes pretty quickly over 30 + mph.
What are your thoughts/suggestions on the porpoising issue?:

What are your thoughts/suggestions on the porpoising issue?:
- Different prop, 4 blade different pitch?
- Whale Tail on the outdrive? - easiest/cheapest remedy so far.
- Jack plate ($$$ ouch!)
