Yes this is the old Smith Bro Boat which Active Dan owned then Rsteiny. I gave the whole boat a face over on the inside and had some gel work done as well on the side (dock rash)
Removed the extension box that was on it trying to eliminate the porpoising and didn't make that much of a difference other then a little more on the top end. Worked with Mercury racing on my prop which made some improvements but still have the porpoising. Put a straight edge on the bottom of my hull and noticed that there was a difference from one side to the other. Was leaning on having some one that knows hulls look at it.
Velocitypwrbtr,
No I have never been on the Shikellamy State park with the Thunder. I run it on a local river and some lakes up in Canada.
Don't get as much time as I would like to use it through out the summer. To much work and not enough play.

Mike,
when are you noticing the porpoising? I've watched R'Addiction go through some heavy stuff.
Oops, Saw your post in the prop forum. Ive seen 24' Outlaw perform like you are describing. Once they got their speed to 80mph or above it stopped.

Getting to that 80 is the ticket.
