Porpoising not on purpose

UPDATE

With a fresh tune up and a 13 1/4" x 19P SS prop, I tried lifting the motor 1 1/2" and it made matters worse. The porpoising started immidetately when I start to trim out and a tiny bit too much causes the prop to break the surface and spin out. So I dropped the motor back down and added a SE Sport Hydrafoil.

It did much better, I cab trim out almost to a perfect spot, better speed, better handeling, better ride and lerss drag. So, I'm going to leave it there and call it a day!

Thanx to all for all the input.
