    Not near as many hop, but most of them slide.Most Skeeter owners dont even realize it because they think all boats handle the same.

    That was about 40mph mid trim (you know that 'fuel save' mode)...(well, sushi don't know nothing bout that ) and that's when they say the hop the worst.. Hell if you're WFO it damn sure wont do it!

    Tim i was driving Sheeters before you were born,and i know as well as anyone what you're talking bout.There are some boat repair guys out there than can help with that,but like i said most of them slide instead of hop.Running a 4 blade prop will help alot with both problems to some degree.
