3 BIP's in 8 posts. THis guy is on fire. Not sure how long we can keep him around before our personal self esteem is lower than Bigandy's without a vodka bottle in his hand.

And yes, please don't comment on Ernie's posts

We really need indicators, the boat porpuses badly in calm water, but acts really good in a slight chop.

What do you guys set your tabs and drives at in the calm (Lake)? And more importantly what should they be set at? running hard the boat is fine, it only porpuses at cruising speeds and rpms (3000-4000)
It will stop porposing if you just leave it on the trailer.

Ernie add some weight to the bow and see what happens.
Also check the hull for a rocker.

Drives up just enough will keep you from churning mud in most boats also.
