If I use the trim tabs (maybe 3 - 5 dots on the indicator) it will bring the porpoising under control and allow greater trim up, but its a funny balance.
Wondering if its unique to the hull (Formula 270 BR) or maybe the stock props are not well suited to our loading and use.
BTW its a Mercruiser 8.2 Mag/Bravo 3 twin prop (stock)
Any thoughts are appreciated.

You don't mention the age or repair of the boat. It could have been stored on a misaligned trailer or misaligned rack that's affected the keel—inducing a "hogback".
