I don't know if this is the right place to post this but I was interested. It might be an easy answer but I remember the confusion with turboboosting with bikes a while back, so I thought it best to ask.

Thanks for any replies.

24"

Fast skimmers do not "turboboost" but rather can move "flat out" 24 inches. Moving flat out is no different than moving at cruising or combat speed: all speed ranges limit what weapons you may fire, and determine how fast you can move.

Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't flat-out 18" in 5th ed?

You are right... but read the rules for skimmers.

Normal fast vehicles: flat out=18"

Fast skimmers: flat out= 24"

Skimmers can move 24" in the Scout move. Simple.

What they WONT get is the Cover save if the enemy is going first, because of the diference in the wording between Skimmers moving Fast and Turboboosting.

That is very cool. Thank you guys for your replies.

Edit: Ah, never mind, I didn't read the rules clearly enough.
