OK, a couple of things. The cheaters are trying to counter the grape and ram by crewing more people. Good idea. However, the Parrotheads (my Guild) have countered this as well.

Ship: Light Frigate; Frigate; War Frigate (have not tried Galleon classes or Sloop or War Sloop, Light sloop is too small to work to overcome glitch I tried)

Crew: Three people minimum, two on cannon, one Captain.

Tactic: Closer the better. If you can Ram first, do so. Then back off slightly so that cannons can engage.

Cannon one: Grape ONLY
Cannon two: high level cannon shot

Front cannon(s): prior to engaging enemy, cannoneers choose which will grape, which will shoot high level shot. Grape cannon continuous fire grape shot, secondary cannon uses high level to take down cheater.

Doesn't work everytime, but enough to get a good bounty.
