Well I don't have porpoise problems so I will stay out of the crossfire. What I will say is that, if you run an aluminum flat or modified v in south La. and you're hull isn't beat up at the bottom anyway, you're doing it all wrong.

I have the completely opposite problem. Boat will not porpoise, I just can't get any bow lift at all.

Well, then you beat that one from the inside. "Reverse Hook". LOL

Seen those too, call a "rocker" They make for a fun ride also.
Saw a few boats with a hook towards the front. Ran ok till you put anything in the front, then they plow.

Check the bottom of your hull. It may be hooked from use. You can beat some of the hook out, start by removing the hook right in front of the engine.
