You could just get a set of manual adjusting (or lenco electric) trim tabs, by tabbing down just a bit and then trimming your engine out it will actually stop the porpoising some but still lifts the bow. Then you can talk to a prop guy and make a few adjustments there, also jackplate adjustments.

15 foot flat you "need" the smallest ones you can get

[Montauk17]

Lenco style tabs are overkill on a aluminum flat. We usually just weld on trim tabs with 4" flat bar and that solves the problem. Of couse you still have to spend some time running the boat to find the sweet spot with the tabs.

montuk 17 there is a set of tabs welded on there they are 8"by2" should i try an bend them down some would that help

[Montauk17]

Yes I would bend them down,but 2" does not do much. You need 4"
