I stepped up from a 89 Carrera 20.5 Jet.
I know own a 2000 24' Stiletto, I love it! Lots of room rides great.
Watch out when turning though, like a cat they turn flat but it likes to hook the outside sponson.
Keep your speed down when you make your turns.
It defenitly is not a V bottom in regards to turning....
Other than that mine loves throttle a little trim and a bit of chop.

Its an easy boat to control and get the hang of. THere is nothing to know other than to find the sweet spot w/ trim.. Its very responsive to trim with even a single click. One waning is not to get over confident in this boat in heavy chop beacuse they can get loose. I saw around 70MPH in my cheetah when I had it. It was very secure and fun boat. Ya just have to know your limits and thats with any watercraft.

I picked up my 24 in february and i love it,but finding the trim sweet spot is key.Trim up too much and hit a wake and you'll be seeing some sky,and trim down too much in chop and you'll bury the bow.
