I am working on setting up a brand new 1548 aluminum duck boat. generally we look at getting good performance out of these (35+ mph) with modded motors and jack plates and tilt trim units. this particular hull will NOT perform as many of the others just like it that i have set up. the boat porpoises badly. i have tried several different props and motor heights all with the same results. after further inspecting the hull, it has a rocker in approximately the last 20 - 24 inches of the hull and up to approximately 3/16 in some places and all the way across the hull. it appears that the rocker is caused from the last rear brace that was welded in across the floor. i do know that a HOOK of 3/16 from flat will make night and day difference, will this rocker make an equally extreme difference in the opposite direction?? the ONLY way to make this boat run and not porpoise is to run the motor with a significant amount of negative trim. when you start trimming up it starts porpoising wildly even before it gets to neutral. surely this is something i should not have to keep and live with huh?
