Had several skeeters and they all did it. I live close to Kilgore and went round and round with them I finally gave up . They even replaced an I boat for me but the new one did it some also . Fixed the problem , bought another brand and the attitude about having a problem with the boat is daylight to dark. All boats have problems but how they timely fix it is what it is all about.

I took it to Longview and had the hook added. Still didn't work. I had to move the passenger seat forward about 2 ft and put a 25# sack of shot in the front storage to get it to stop. Then I sold it.

I'm going to keep my eyes open this weekend for some porpoising on Fork. 
Keep the Lord in your heart and keep your powder dry.

Txtechliprip, here's the answer: buy a wedge and install between motor and jack plate.
My 2001 zx225 did it bad....I bought it in 2010 and the seller said he didn't notice it. Yeah right. I installed the wedge and it's fixed. The angle of the transom did not allow enough engine under tuck, even with trim down all the way. You'll need longer bolts btw. I then raised my engine to tune it.....70 mph now with no porpoising at any speed.

I have been PM'ed by a nice guy that works for skeeter, they are going to give it a look this weekend and adjust accordingly. If that doesn't work then it sounds like I should just burn the boat and fish from the bank, better than putting up with a little bobbing in between 3-4K RPM Haters Gonna Hate.... Hummingbird vs Lowrance Chevy vs Ford Minn Kota vs Motorguide Power Pole vs Talon I hear you can break into a lockerbar with the winch? I also hear If you hold a bass by the lip over 2.5lbs its jaw will fall off? Does a 10% discount mean that I am sponsored? Do I have to have a jersey to fish?

I've got an '07 ZX 225, and after hearing of all these problems people claim, I'm just gonna give my boat away and buy something else. I guess no one here wants it, may have to part it out. #dingbattffers I'll take it. Thanks Tom.

It was planing and running fine after all the changes. I had no complaints from the buyer. I knew him and we fished some club T's together.
