If you have cable steering, you need to upgrade or the chine walk will not stop.
It's from the inherent slop in the cable that causes it, with hydraulic all you have to do is apply more throttle and it's gone.

I think most of your slack is between the seat and the steering wheel.

What rpm are you spinning the 24 pitch Bravo? You may be a under-propped unless 4500 feet elevation causes more power loss then I think it does. I do think that you are up on the pad at 76 mph. I am spinning a labbed 27 hydro 4 blade with a 502 mag with headers. On a good day with some chop I get 72-73 mph

A friend of mine used to race velocity's and said the 26 Hydromotive wasn best, I personally saw the best results from a labbed 28 Bravo.
Unfortunately, unless you have a dive mask and can get to Metro Beach in Harrison Township, you'll have to buy one.
Let the wife drive and that was that...

The rpm is 5400 with the twenty four. I have tried a bravo one from the 24, 26, 28, 30, and a 28, 30 left handed prop. The elevation here is really a killer on engine power. Soon I will have the big motor here and the new drive so I will have to start all over agian. It has been fun getting to know the boat with little power how its time to wake her up

My 24' Super would run 75mph any day of the week with a labbed 28p B1. The top speed I saw was 78 with a labbed 27p M+.
I am confident that once I've got my engine running right, (ECU issues) the Velocity will top out over 70...
