Besides the X being too high, most of your "issues" are with the prop. Do yourself a big big favor, call Brett and get dialed in.

It seems all the renditions or copys of the shadow and chris cats have a porpoise can they really ever be eliminated? or is it just lessened?

Brian have you had yours out yet? How does it handle/run?

Randy, See Phil's post #15. Question for Outlaw: Did you purchase this boat from Cody White? Previous posts give the appearance of prop swapping with other boaters. My second (and last) piece of advice. Contact a prop professional. Brett at BBlades is one. Get a handle on a good baseline. THEN fine tune with others on this forum.

Now Randy, get back to your asparagus.

I'm almost 100% sure that is the same boat. Look at the hatch in the video and the pic's in the link I posted.

Richard, are you going to boating this summer?

Phil, Trying like crazy to. Blocks in the machine shop getting a final exam. Cranks getting balanced. All motor components are in my hands and ready for assembly once the blocks are back. Only parts missing are the prop shafts for the new shorties. What is the est. spalsh date for your ride?

Outlaw1, Please do post what Brett's advice is for your prop and outdrive specs.
