Not to beat a dead horse but...have you tried trimming the motor all the way down until you get on plane and then trimming it up until the bow rises? Keep trimming until you get that porpoising (up and down) of the bow and then back it down until it stops. The reason I ask is that I've never seen a boat that would run fine without a stabilizer plate and then not work with it. The stab plates usually only make things better and more responsive...not the other way around.

Just trying to find a solution.
