Not me but Cajun Christian banged on mine so good I'll let him bang on every one of mine from here on out. In fact, I'll let him bang on it straight off da new boat lot.

I tried hooking my hull but being fiberglass it didn't work out to well.... Joke
I run a 15' marshrunner with a 40 merc. Run trim tabs kinda like hydro has shown. Removed the hydraulic shocks and put stainless turnbuckles. Run them about 1/8" below bottom. Performs great for me. Hops on top quick and run 52mph wot.

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.

Nope, run an old brown one. Getting old and beat up but still letting me catch fish lol.

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.
