Thanks everyone!
There's still some work left on it that I will take care of during the winter. I needed to prioritize to get it running.
I will keep you updated!

I had it trimmed around neutral and it was still was riding very high.
I accidently got a Merc trim tab pump for my drive trim and it's way too slow (the drive trim pumps are high flow versions of the exact same pump), so I didn't want to trim it out too far since I wouldn't be able to get it back down fast enough if I needed to. This is one of the things I will take care of during the winter.
So far I have used the tabs only when going on and off plane.

Don't know how I missed that . Now I'm up to speed . I live in Pantera , Superboat , and swap shop . Need to do a little more exploring on OSO ..
Tomas bassed on the post dates am I seeing that you did the build in about seven months is that correct ?
You did some nice work . Being that you did something so detailed and precise did you ever think about putting a step in the boat ? Looks like you have the skill to do it . I'm only asking because I was thinking that a 24/7 stepped hull would preform awesome . Just don't know if anyone has added a step post mold .

Right now I'm planning on extending the inner strakes quite a bit longer, doing the extended parts about 1/2-1" narrower. I was worried about the boat over planning and dipping the bow but that's absolutely no issue. It rides high and very well but with longer strakes I believe it will ride even higher and better - and faster.
I have seen some pics of 24 Superboat bottoms with the strakes going almost all the way to the transom - anyone have any more info about this?

We didn't feel it what so ever, I just heard a small "ting"-sound and lost thrust.
I had it trimmed around neutral and it was still was riding very high.
I accidently got a Merc trim tab pump for my drive trim and it's way too slow (the drive trim pumps are high flow versions of the exact same pump), so I didn't want to trim it out too far since I wouldn't be able to get it back down fast enough if I needed to.
