I have heard of these boats have issues with porpoising. Anyone know if this is true?? |

Mine never has, it's surprisingly smooth. First time I have heard this. |

Porposing can be fixed threw trim tabs, diverters or pump wedges.....the only thing I would be worried about is plowing from a bad hull design and these boats do not have that problem. |

You might be thinking of the Extreme Shallow (utility style boat).
The Extreme Duty's did move the console 8" forward in late model 2009's and later models to give more room aft and smooth out the ride a bit. |

Like any boat, unless it's equiped with tabs/diverter/wedge etc. you have to pay attention to how you pack your gear/beer. You will definatly experience more puckering than porpoising if you utilize these boats for their intended purpose, ie. skinny!!! |
