I was just curious, I bought a 22 Porpoise from Dave at Northcoast back in 1997. It came with his taillight guarrantee. I had a little over 750HP, on a good day when I could keep it from bouncing 5 feet in the air it would run 104 on the gps. Hopefully they've changed the hull design and yours won't be a death trap like mine. Good luck.

I had the old style hull also. Mine was a 03, I dont know if it was the same bottom as the 97 or not. I think mine had a single step hull. Anyway it had a low speed porpoise and one about 75 to 78. I added Dana fixed tabs and cured the problem.
The new hull is wider, deeper and dual stepped. It has no porpoise and drives like a 25 or 26. I dont expect any problems. The new 22 with 525s run 98 out of the box so I am hoping for 105 to 110.
I have not had any issues with Dave but, not everyone gets along with everybody.

It definately sounds like that hull had a setup problem or something. There is a guy in Shreveport running that style hull to 126 with a quad rotor GT Performance 1200. I just had a HO in my old one but, he is pooring the power to it. I have not looked at the back of his hull to see the set up. I wonder if they changed the bottom of those hulls. I think Jerrys is a 03also.
Anyway thanks for the compliments and I will update with speed and handleing in a few weeks.
