 Boat Help?
I've got a 1652 F&F flatbottom with a 50 Mercury on it. Every time I run it over half throttle the front either wants to bounce or act like it's trying to dig itself down into the water(not exactly sure what you'd call it but it just doesn't act right). My question is what do I need to do to fix this I can't just trim it down some more either. I'm thinking it's got a "hook" in it but I'm far from a boat expert. Is it possible to have it repaired by someone or should I just look for a new boat. Also if it is unrepairable what should I do with the hull?! I don't want to trade it in to someone or sell to someone and screw them over. Ugh any help would be greatly appreciated Thanks

 Re: Boat Help?
check the bottom for hooks..if no hooks then add some trim tabs or welds some beads onto the bottom of the boat at the back

 Re: Boat Help?
Might think about adding a hydrofoil on the lower unit. It will help a lot with the porpoising.
