I have an 06 Tuffy Esox Magnum C with a 115 E-Tech. It seems to plane out very quickly and runs a healthy 56-57 mph (50 on the gps). At full throttle it's pulling about 5700 rpms. It's kind of difficult to trim without porpoising. The prop is a standard aluminum (13.2x19). Can I run a higher pitch to keep it from porpoising, and maybe lift the bow out of the water a little more? I don't think power is and issue, it just feels like that prop is displacing water too quickly. Open for suggestions, Thanks Gordo.
