I have pretty much the same setup, with a 24' FW as well. It certainly does bob and weave but as long as its not hitting the dock I think that's what its supposed to do. One mistake that I have seen is to attach the lines on the opposite (starboard on Rattlesnake Guy's drawing) side of the boat. That wold seem to make the whips pretty much useless.
