2001 crownline 225 br 5.7 liter duo prop volvo penta. The problem is when ever the boat is on plane and however it is trimmed it has a roostertail right behind the boat. I have owned boats for 25 years and I know how to trim a boat. I have took the boat to a penta dealer and they cant find anything wrong nor can I. The props are correct for the boat and the boat runs strong and fast. The boat has a dirty wake. Just wondering if anyone has any ideas why this boat would do this. Maybe hull design?

Maybe a transducer. You'll have to have someone see where the turbulence comes from while underway.

Welcome to iboats!:welcome:

Is this a new problem or has it been happening since you've owned the boat? Can you post a picture of the transom?
