Never rode in a 24 but all progressions are pretty much known to be light in the bow. I've never experienced it hooking before but close to 90° a few times. Imo an offhore mid is a must with these hulls to keep the drive from kicking out. You'll be alright just get a season or two under your belt

What prop? RPM? Cruising speed at 3000 and 4000 RPM? Any other set up information?
I have the same boat and motor, 2006.
Thanks
Eric

Beautiful rig always loved the color combo on it. That setup should be able to break 80 np

Yea, I'd say he's mostly right there. I might recommend learning how to drive with them either level with the bottom or just slightly down. That's pretty much where I run mine all the time. The only time I pull them all the way up is when I want to make the jump to ludicrous speed.
BTW: I've driven an awful lot of boats in my 63 years and I work at a marina. Based on that experience, I'd say 380 K-Planes are pretty much over kill for a 22' boat. I've been out in some pretty hellacious water in mine and never felt I needed anything bigger than my 12"x12" tabs. For instance, note that my tabs aren't even half way down in this snot:

I never owned a 22, but I had a 24 with cabin similar to the blue and white boat on the web site. I will say that when running 75-85 my 24 felt more flighty than my 2006 hydrostream vegas. Cross winds pushed it around a lot more, probably because it is very light for its size and allowed the wind to blow it around more than the similar (though lighter) weight vegas which was much more sleek and had less surface area.
I had a 300x and saw over 80 with mine fairly consistent, but 78-80 any day.
Only once did my 24 stand up on me and make me think my day was over. I was running hard, 75-80ish and hit a hole in the water I never saw, otherwise with conservative trim and a nutral tab (380 k planes on mine) it would run through most anything.

What prop and set up were you using to get 80 +? Was that prop a reasonable prop for multi use, load and acceleration or a top speed only prop?
Running a little tab seems like a reasonable way to start out and learn the boat.
