16ft Bayliner Fish and Ski (1984 model)<br />85 hp Force<br />13 x 20 pitch prop<br />speed wing on engine<br />5200 rpm @ 38 mph GPS<br />2 200 lb guys<br />gear<br />20 gal gas<br /><br />At top end, I can trim the motor up some to get more speed. A little bit more and it starts to porpoise. A little more and it gets real bad.<br />I raised the engine up 1 1/4 inch and the problem was the same but the prop would blow out while trimming, still porpoising.<br />I took the speed wing/whale tale off and the porpoising was terrible. There is no more holes to move up, and the original position was as low as it could go. The AV plate in the lower position was maybe an inch above the bottom of the boat.<br />I have read a lot of the discussions and do not see any answer to my problem.<br />Is it prop, or what? The only thing that is not original is the prop was 19 pitch, and it porpoised then also.<br />Need expert advice.<br />Thanks,<br /><br />Mike
