NEED A SOLUTION, ANYONE HAVE ANY IDEAS

[02superteam]

I HAVE A 02 SUPER AIR TEAM EDITION. IT HAS THE BEST WAKE I COULD ASK FOR. THE ONLY PROBLEM IS THAT AT WAKEBOARDING SPEEDS, WITH ALL THE TANKS FULL, IT TENDS TO "BOUNCE," OR PORPOISE. THE NOSE OF THE BOAT JUST CONTINUES TO GO UP AND DOWN CONSTANTLY AND WONT STOP UNLESS THERE ARE PEOPLE UP IN THE FRONT OF THE BOAT. IT ACTUALLY EVEN DOES IT AT HIGHER SPEEDS AS WELL. ONCE IT STARTS, IT DOESNT STOP UNTIL I SLOW BACK DOWN. THIS MAKES IT ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO WAKEBOARD EFFICIENTLY DUE TO THE BOAT CONTINUING TO THROW OFF YOUR BALANCE AND MOMENTUM. IT GETS REALLY AGGRAVATING!!! THE ONLY THING THAT IS AFTERMARKET IS THE BIGGER ENGINE. IT HAS THE 8.1 LITER ENGINE IN IT, BUT I DIDNT THINK THAT WOULD HAVE AN EFFECT ON WHY IT BOUNCES LIKE THAT. I HAD SOMEONE ONCE TELL ME THAT IT COULD BE THE PROP. THEY SAID I MAY HAVE THE WRONG KIND OF PROP ON IT. DOES ANYONE ELSE HAVE THIS PROBLEM OR KNOW HOW TO FIX IT... BESIDES THE OBVIOUS WAY OF JUST BUYING A FAT SACK TO KEEP UP FRONT. THANKS A LOT

The problem is that you have too much weight in the rear of the boat, especially with the python engine adding another 2-300 pounds of weight over the 5.7L engine.

You need weight up front, either people, sacs, or lead.

^^^^^ Agreed 100% - I think this is a common problem - a couple hundred pounds up front makes a huge difference. I has nothing to do with your prop. I am also assuming you aren't having issues with your perfect pass since you said it porpoises at high speeds as well. Just make someone sit up in the bow if you don't want to fill fat sacks. Probably not what you wanted to hear...

Agreed, common problem -- my '03 SANTE does the same when there is no weight in the bow. I usually just have the kids ride up front and that usually stops the porpoising.

i'd just start dating a pregnant chick and have her sit up in the bow. problem solved....oh wait. nevermind.

You could try some pops bags - 40 pounds each - get some of those and distribute throughout the bow and the rest of the boat.
