Eric P. A hint you gave me paid off...

I remember reading a post that you made a year or so ago about sharpening the edge where the transom meets the hull by adding (back) epoxy, etc. I was having a big problem with water running up the transom and into the engine well. I added some sharp small wedges and I kept them sharp, I did not round them.

The porpoising stopped and the rooster tailing is gone. Thanks.

BTW: had 1,000 lbs of people in the boat the other day and the boat planed - now that's cool.

It's amazing what a little bit of rounding on trailing edges can do to create problems. Glad the epoxy built-up squared edges fixed your situation. Thanks for the report.
