Porpoising only at the absolute top end when I trim the motor just about all the way up. I was trying to get the bow up more so I could hit 50 mph. Again, only did a quick prop test with the mechanic. I don't anticipate it being a problem.

I completely restored the boat over two years so new mounting holes were drilled in the transom by the mechanic. Mounting template for the new holes and then engine holes done based on the lower end unit location to the bottom of the hull. I want more time on the water before thinking about changing my engine height.

Prop test was in fresh water, I'm curious what the difference will be when put in salt water. I'll do another test and share after the holiday weekend. Small density change.
