        I can't see the HW, but how is your strut angle? + or - ?
        How is your rudder angle?
        Do you have trim tabs?

        THIS page may help some if you are looking at the transom while you read it.

              This may be a stupid question but have you checked your COG?

                yes cg is around 33% or so i figureed if the cg was that off the front or back would be bouncing not the entire boat... not sure on the prop my buddy gave it to me. its a stainless prop, ill see if i can get more info on it right now

                  Probably a Prather 220
                  Try an Octura X445

                      Tuck the rudders inward toward the transom.

                          Is the water choppy when she ran?

                              What kind of cells are you running? How much does the boat weigh when underway?
