I have a similar boat. mine is stable, but I had to move the two TM batteries to the bow. You may have luck with a DoelFin, but I would not install any other brand. I do not have one currently. Try loading more weight in the front to see if that helps first. Your other option is to find a prop with more stern lift. I'm guessing you have a 3 blade prop now. You may have to go to a 4 of a different style. Call the motor mfg and see what props they offer that have more stern lift if weight distribution doesn't help.

I have an Alumacraft Lunker 165 Mag T with a 25 hp. Dad has a similar lund with a 25 hp and both perform nearly the same. Dad has a hydrofoil, I do not. Feel free to shoot me a message or get my number from Mr. Gunkel.
