Oh no! I think I might even have a video of Justin and Jeff discussing that same topic on Jeff's boat! 
Justin: Jeff, this boat sure porpoises a lot.
Jeff: It's the flat water, it just needs a little bit of tab.
Justin: Oh. But, well... okay.
Minutes later the tabs are casually dropped while the boat was WOT (Justin is looking a little green in the face at this point)...
Boat: 71mph, 70, 69... 65, 64... 57, 56, 55... But the porpoising was about gone!
Kevin starts pulling away, Jeff takes that tiny bit of tab back out...
Boat: 55mph, 56, 57, 58... 70, 71...

Maybe a little bit of chine walk was included for good measure, but that thing was hopping up and down like flipper is in my avatar!

I am willing to bet by years end it will need a tug tow home too, if the DEP gets a hold of that noise pollution your spewing!
The good news is when rafting up it will be like tying up to a fixed piling dock its so long, I think your new name should be captain stubing!

Hey, the Sutphen 21 ssx is a beautiful ride and lookin forward to seein' it in person, but its unfair of Jeff to make this thread all about him, so Im moving the "Jeff" portion to the NE section. Congrats on a beautiful new ride!

Kev if you actually knew any of the boaters in your local area youd know that Mike is in the swamps right now hunting alligators with machine guns!LOL
For the sutphen guys if you wanna know why that boat was running that way it was because the lowers on OB 's tend to get hot if you surface them and they will push out the oil and seals, then the suck in water when they cool So I was artifically running them low in the water( hydraulic bracket) to keep them cool. It made the boat a bear to run in flat water and it needed tab to keep it from acting stupid with all that drag.
Problem is solved this year (HOPEFULLY) with some vent kits to let the pressure out of the power units and oil back in rather than water.
Its a known problem with mercury sport master for about 15+ years now.
THeres not much going on in the exclibur forum and Kev wishes he had a CIG still so thats why he comes here. To dorwn his misery.
