i run a merc 55 on a slt boat and struggled with purpoising problems ...
turned out the bottom yoke where the bottom mounts bolt into was flogged out and had quite a bit of movement.
might be worth looking at if its an old mota.

I have seen a mod done to the outer wing area on the bottom on a Viper. Hook was added to stop low speed hop. Once at speed, you get some air under the hull and this area is almost dry.... Not sure who did it, but saw it on here.

TS I agree about getting the wt aft. When I went to a 3.0 I moved the batt fwd to offset some of the motors wt. Made it wanna hop. Moved it back and it ran much better. All boats are diff, but I hit the trim and the throttle at plane off and go past the hop zone and get it on the pad. Then trim dn some once flying. These hulls were never designed to run slow....

Year ago, (when these boats were new) this issue was adressed with a small set of aluminum tabs added to the outer section of the transom. (hydrostream supplied them).
Nothing fancy, will get a pic of a set of these & post later.
Very very common problem. ( 15s, 17s, and 18s needed them)

Yes, I sold them. We never had much issue with porpoise back then, we usually added them for customers who wanted the boat to launch harder.
There were no rotten cores or rubber transoms yet, there are also many more choices of props, jackplates and gearcases, and many of the boats today have been changed by poor storage, repairs, different interior layouts, and worn out rigging and engines.Living in the Freedom provided by Bud Conner and his fellow warriors.
