Porpoising can be exacerbated by weight in the stern. A Yamaha 70 hp 4 stroke motor is not light.
While one can play with a foil or tabs, it is recommended to review the weight distribution in the boat. While your options are limited on a Dauntless 15, a review is warranted never the less.
One way to see the effect of weight balance is to have a passenger in the bow and go from a standing start to a cruising speed.
