We ran a friend of mine's V24 about a week ago. Starts and runs excellent. The only thing that went wrong was the cowling came undone and it does not float. I would add a piece of flotation material to it or at least tether it to the boat. (I'm not sure how good that hatch button works) The boat came with the outdrive in a raised position, we had to lower it to level position to get the boat to go properly. It's not broken in quite yet, but it should really go when it is. Handles rough water very well too.

I've heard good and bad about the boat but Aquacraft is working on resolving the problems.
I've heard of poor fit of the deck and hull and leaks around where there should have been an exhaust gasket between the header and pipe. Lock-tite all of the bolts before running it and lube the flex cable.

The shop I work at has sold a couple. The customers are satisfied with the performance and 'looks', although the fit & finish seems to be very different model to model. You may have to get a couple of tools to reach the screws in the outdrive. One boat has had a couple of unique problems: First, the fuel tank split. Second, on the same boat it appeared the starter housing was loose and the boat/engine vibration caused the plastic to wear thin around the screw bosses until it split. We went through the driveline to make sure everything was ok, plus we sharpened and balanced the prop (it was pretty far off!!). No problems since. FYI..the Mfg replaced all the parts for free. Cool looking boat. Looks like a great fun boat. RC
