I recently purchased a 2007 Crownline 22LS with a Volvo 5.0 engine and SX outdrive. The boat comes up on plane easily but I have to keep the outdrive trimmed all the way down or the boat will porpoise badly. Can anyone tell me what's why?

Re: Have to keep trim all the way down

how is your load dispersed throughout the boat? are you heavily loaded towards the back? How fast are you going? Sounds like a weird problem to me like maybe you have a problem with your trim, mine is a mercruiser based boat and I have mine trimmed between half and 3/4 down at top speed, a little more down for watersports but rarely all the way down unless waves are mid sized and the wifes back is giving her problems
