    Yep, I looked at Skeeters back in 1998 and took several test rides. They were doing it back then too. That was one reason I did not buy one.

    I have a ZX 250 and it jumped like a bucking bull until I put a foil on it. There is a guy in La. Chris Baily that makes them custom to your motor. it stopped all the porpoise action on my boat.

    2000 zx195c - mine did it until I added a inexpensive hole shot plate from bass pro se sport model- still have to be trimmed way down much of the time but zero porpoising now.

    Skeeters are known to have Porpoising at lower speeds (-35mph). I just recently learned how to work with it. You just need more seat time and also A Hydro foil would definitely help out. I'm going to purchase a CB marine Foil next spring.

    Personally I'd go with a 4 blade prop. You don't lose that much top speed and IMO the control and mid range acceleration you get in exchange is well worth a couple mph.
