I would say no that is "NOT" typical with the Stiletto modified tunnel hull. The 24'Stiletto and 23'Scorpion share the same bottom with different tops. Bobs had them in the line up since the 80's (I think). The 24 Stiletto has been one of his best sellers with little complaints. I known owners with big HP that never complained of chine walking. What power/drive and type of prop are you running?

It's a Mercury 502 with a Bravo 1. Not sure on the prop. He's dinged several...

He swears up and down it's a rough ride at high speed as well. That just didn't seem typical for a mod tunnel.

I have had both and never any problems with a chine walk .... a 496ho, Bravo 1x, 26P prop in the Stiletto.

Kevin,

Glad to see that you're still around. I wish you great success! Sorry to hear about your dad. I understand your pain.
