I am interested. PM sent

Phil,
Thanks for sharing your insights! It really does help to hear your experiences. I had it out yesterday on smooth and calm water. It has tendency to porpoise if I use any trim at all even on calm water. It really doesn’t take much waves to get the bow bouncing. I had a full rear live well and was able to get 5900rpm at about 55mph. I had my boy hold the wheel at 40mph with no trim so that I could snap a pic. If that is a good reference point then to me appears like I need to raise the motor one hole. Is that I correct interpretation of the attached pic?

Thanks again!

Phil,
I am running mine in the third hole and could only raise the motor one more hole. I have heard that the cavitation ate should be level with the bottom of the boat but mine is about 4″higher than level. Any suggestions?

Not to make this seem like a chronic issue with the WX2060 but I also just bought a 2016 and I am having porpoising issues as well. If there are any waves at all then it will porpoise until I hit 45+ even keeping it trimmed down all the time. I have sparse tackle on board, empty livewells, and a single passenger. About the only weight I have is a relatively full tank of fuel. The holeshot is fine and I can get it up to 58 at ~6000rpm so I see no other performance issues. This bothers me because I have the Standard 250SHO using the factory 8″ setback and the 19 pitch saltwater series stainless 3 blade prop. Given that it comes from the factory with the kicker it should be optimized for the extra weight already. Last weekend on the St Croix river I could not run at 30-35mph due to the tendency to porpoise in the waves. So I either had to run faster which wasn’t safe in that traffic or go slower and hover near 25 which is barely on-plane. So what am I missing? With a brand new rig do I really need to tweak it to get it to perform properly? I could see tweaking if I modified a boat by adding the weight of a kicker but I shouldn’t have to mess with this on a factory rigged boat like this. Any suggestions? Where do you draw the line between poor trim and poor setup? Does every 2060 have this issue?
