Sweet Phat, let us know when the spanish start running down there.
For the last few years that's been my official notice that Spring has arrived. What kind of bass boat? The whaler?

Took my new to me SUNDANCE out yesterday for it's first little trip to the lake. Now I gotta find a prop to stop the porpoising.

The wide beam skiffs porpoise BAD! I'm looking at either a powertech scd4 16 pitch, spitfire 4 blade aluminum, or a michigan wheel 4 blade aluminum xhs. With the way it porpoises, I'll probably have to put a fin on the engine to help hold the bow down.

That is crappy. Carolina Skiff and the service department kept the company I worked for in the late 80's ALIVE. They were not too bad to porpoise as I recall. (Original design) My dad's newer designed 14J 20hp Merc will definitely porpoise if there is noone in the front seat. I can move the fuel tank foreward enough and put the cooler up there and it almost removes the ill effect of having a big *** guy sitting at the transom... No mas driving with the tiller anymore. Give me a steering wheel and a throttle I can set and cruise. That tiller of my dad's will wear you out on a long cruise.
To get a clear picture of what your fighting, Are You talking neutral trim or fully tucked and porposing?
