    Sounds to me like the prop is catching air... I had this happen years ago when pulling a tube hard with the stock prop and trying to slam through turns.

    Do you really need the sharp turn at speed? Somebody may start getting on you about the "no-no" power turns....
    So when is this "old enough to know better" supposed to kick in?

    So it's ok to take the scanks off?

    Haven't taken one off to see if it would leave holes in my hull or not.

    Definitely time to get rid of the skanks.

    I'd leave the skags though. Maybe just quit trying to kill yer tubers.

    Those are tracking fins and you don't want to remove them. You're cavitating your prop when the boat heaves over during the tight turns. You really don't need to turn that hard to throw people off the tube.
