I have a 1998 Dauntless 15 with a Merc 60 2 stroke. The Dauntless 15 is pretty weight sensitive. Having weight forward helps with the porpoising. I'm running a stainless 12" x 11 pitch prop and that provides additional stern lift which helps, as does my Dole Fin. Still, my ability to trim the motor up is limited before the porpoising starts. My hole shot is great with the 11 pitch prop and WOT speed is 34 on GPS (fast enough for this old fart in a 15 foot boat).

Great boat, you will come to love it.
