I never ran my boat with stock props, but when I did run with just 2 5000mAh packs and x447 props, it ran best with the batteries all the way forward and the struts set at 3mm

Next time you're out and the 'skipping' starts listen closely. When the boat is at its highest point is the motor revving a little higher? Does the motor rev down when the boat is at its lowest point? That will tell you if the prop is coming out of the water (or almost coming out). If it is, then angling the strut down is not the solution. That's going to make it come out even worse. You may have too much lift (airflow) under the hull/deck - all cats suffer from this. Or your stern is lifting up because of the angling down. Remember, when you angle down the bow stays wetter because you are raising the stern.May your batteries never fail you...

can't believe I didn't crank it tight enough I guess.

You'll know it if you hear it. Kinda like if you were repeatedly pressing a car accelerator down and letting up. When the prop comes all or partially out of the water, the resistance is less and the motor revs higher. When the prop goes under there is more resistance and the motor will slow down a bit. It's subtle but noticeable.May your batteries never fail you...
