I am considering trying to get a classic Turner cutaway. I plan on using this board for TS. What would the recommended wheelbase be?
The Turner Website list 18.625 inches. However, I know that JG and UR13 have different opinions about what works best for New England type courses.

We've been drilling the cutaways here a bit tighter - approx 18" or slightly less, with the rear truck holes only 1" or so from the back. Paul Dunn originally specified this setup, and it seems to work pretty well. The setback front truck takes out a lot of camber and makes the board less twitchy, and the setback rear truck helps with traction (at least that's the theory).
