[QUOTE="JL8Jeff, post: 389969, member: 12995"] The fins are plastic so if they hit something it would probably just snap the fin. But if the fin is going to hit something, so is the lower end and you're in trouble at that point. I had a 90 hp Mercury on a 17' Wahoo and it had the fins and ran fine. I removed the fins and the boat would porpoise at anything past half throttle so I had to put them back on. The fins or wedges are probably your least expensive starting point. I added the transom wedges to my jet and it made a difference in the bow position and porpoising so they do work in some situations, you would need to try them out to see if they work for your setup.
