Default Porpoising

Skillet,
If the boat is porpoising with the engine trimmed all the way down, I'm not confident Merc will have good results for you. Might want to talk to the dealer and see about their cutting you a deal on trim tabs.

A whale tale might work a bit, but it's a duct-tape solution on a beautiful new boat. It's in the dealer's interest to get that dialed in. With a 115 you're not overpowered or overweight; the light weight of the bow needs to be compensated, and the only way I know of to do it right is with tabs.

Good Luck!
