Looking at the X19 listings on another site, nearly all with a 200 list their top speed at 69-70. With a 150, right at 60.

That would make perfect sense.
a typical 150 carb motor basically on any bass boat is 60 62 mph
sounds like you have that motor sittin a little low on the transom. Too much drag. 3 1/2 inches below the pad from the nose of the bullet to the lowest point on the hull (pad if you have one) is a good avg with out low water pickup. Usually the 3rd hole from the top of the mount is where most end up. Most riigers at boat dealers put them all the way down for a safety factor because they dont know what you are gonna load it up with or how youre gonna use it. Im betting from what you describe as your rpms and pitch youre about 5 inches below. Is it an aluminum prop or SS , 3 blade or 4, added cup , hows the hole shot. With a little more info you could be turning a 21 SS at 6200 and 60 62 mph. With intake scoops and blocking off the top 3 intakes you can get that up to 3 inches above and get a few more mph. Every 1/4 of an inch up makes a HUGE diff believe it or not. I dont know how you use your boat but for all around dependability and if you fish tournys and get a gravity challenged partner (fat) leave it be.

I think you need to go back up a bit and look elsewhere for the porpoise issue, usually trim/load in my experience.
That boat should easily run at -3.5" +/- maybe 3/4"

The porpoising happened if I trimmed up even just the tiniest little bit while on plane.QuoteThat boat should easily run at -3.5" +/- maybe 3/4"
Not sure what you mean by that. I'm assuming you're referring to outboard height? As you can tell, I've never gotten too much into the technical aspects of boat performance.
