99 ZX195 200 VMAX !!!!!!HELP!!!!!

[flippedout606]

I have a 99 zx195 with a 200 Vmax factory jackplate 2.5in below pad at the propshaft 18-22psi water pressure im running a 24p powertech tr04 i think. I have sevral issue which im sure are all related first thing my holeshot is slow (for a skeeeter) which i can deal with but when i get up on plane at wot trimmed all the way under it will porpoise for it seems like forever but it will eventually level out when loaded heavy with a light load its not so bad (and no i dont have alot of weight in the front of my boat i actually have one sompartment empty) i have lowered and raised my engine from 2-5in below bad so to prevent this from happening i have to use a hydrofoil which i know i should to run...also with or without the hydrofoil if im up on plane and i start turn the boat even slightly to the left it will start porpoising again but it will not on a right hand turn even if its a hard turn (im sure this is important to someone that knows whats going on)

PS i have owned bass boats my whole life so i know whow to drive one im not trimming out too fast and im not overloading it \
PLEASE HELP ANY HELP WILL BE APPRECIATED

I had the same problems as you with my 1999 zx195 when i first got it. I found that the thing does not like going slow, and I had to get it going at a good clip on plane before I started trimming up. Haven't played with the prop or pad settings yet.

Thanks for the response but i fix my issue today and boy did i have a mess...lol i got back to the basics and figured it out...there wasnt a set up issue at all whoever installed the hotfoot didnt adjust the throttle cable and it was only opening up maybe 2/3 of the way so adjusted my cable and my hoot foot stop took that dang hydrofoil off and went to the water... holeshot is good no porpoising and now all turns are smooth as silk my foil must have been catching in a left hand turn....i still have some work to do to get it dialed in but i wanted to post my results maybe itll help someone that may be having the same issue.....

I have took advice from some many people that have no idea what there talking about my setup is a mess with the foil i was runnin 58wot without with my throttle fixed i was at 63wot with 2people full livewells but im gonna try to go this weekend and play with it.. This boat should do run least 65 with a HEAVY load 67-68 light IMO but theres not alot on info on these boats i know they look just like the zx200 im not sure whats difffrent but ill post my results next week
