Anybody ever had that problem? Went from a 3 blade to a 4 blade bravo, now the boat seems to rock back and forth alot more than before, is this from a prop?

A four blade will have more lift. You may be feeling the stern lift a little, causing the walking.

Try one with the diffuser ring cut off, that will change the handling.

...I have the same hull as yours.
4 Blade Bravo is your best bet as far as props are concerned.
How much positive trim are you running?
Over trim it and it will dance...
That thing should be on rails til at least 60 or so....
Call me at 505-620-7622 maybe I can help you out....

Put your drive a little deeper in the water when it starts to feel unstable... :idea:

Play with the trim settings till it feels right.
Adjust the weight around in the boat. Anchors, coolers, etc.
Trim tabs.....

Sounds like your on the right track. A little chine walk makes things more fun. Ever riden in an Allison...it's kinda like a bear on rollerskates going down Pikes Peak.

You know, you guys are right, this last time we had the bow pretty much stuffed with coolers, anchors, BBQ, EZ Up's, etc......I'm sure the bow had some weight in it........hey you guys are alright, that's what I like about this forum, smart cookies........thanx
