[QUOTE="huntinfool, post: 353853, member: 1931"] I have an 1860 tracker grizzly and it is rated for a 90 HP. My boat will get on plane, but only run wot at 33mph. My initial thoughts are you are over weight/under powered. For the amount of weight I think you have too little motor. 4 guys ( 200 lbs average) 18 gal. fuel, 3 batteries, trolling motor, duck decoys, guns, shells, etc. A different pitch prop might help, might. I'd also consider raising your outboard up one hole. This might help both problems. Or you could add a whale tail to help with the porpoising. If it were mine, I believe I would raise the motor one hole and see how it acts first. This is easy and free. If this helps the porpoise issue then no need for the fin. Lastly would be the prop. But I think even with a different prop, you're still overweight and under powered. JMHO. [/QUOTE]
