Really need to test more props. It's a lot lighter now than when F14 owned it 8 years ago. Porpoise starts just over 50 & cleans up just over 70. Put it into a slight right turn & doesn't hop nearly hardly at all. We didn't really roll many miles yesterday but hopefully soon. I will report back.
Thank you
This 24 is completely different now with 15" mid & jack plate. Thankfully F14 doesn't even remotely care about top end, just wants good acceleration & would be perfectly happy with mid 90s.
Ran F14's 24 Skater yesterday. Good friend helped modify the bottom of the jack plate, installed a new piece of aluminum plate to block water from hitting jack. Worked great. Big thanks to Joe for lunch at Bulldogs. DeWald 31 x 14.75 was too big & very lazy. Ran to upper 90s but took forever &...
Got a piece of metal in rear outer tire on dually & had a trailer tire blowout between Michigan & home. Got 7 new tires on trailer, greased bearing buds, etc. 24 Skater trailer was just serviced & has 1 yr tires, all good.

Been the entire way across 40 several times over last few years. AZ & NM are terrible especially at almost every overpass bridge. Put a tire on white line at least. Do NOT just follow down the "middle" of each lane. Make sure your spare, jack, 4 way, etc is good. Do not stay overnight in NM...
Congrats on 101. Looks very flat, stable & wonderful. Is there any hop/porpoise? Have you run it thru any real wind chop? How tall is driver & wind protection? How does it get on plane? What's a happy cruise speed with 4 people & plenty of fuel?
Looks fantastic
