    I would be amazed if it made any significant difference with such a small hollow.In fact,there might even be an advantage at times.Are you aware that there is a hollow aft on Fireballs?Its a bit like adding wedges to powerboat hulls for better planing performance.It would be a good exercise to go through the rest of the boat looking for imperfections in the foils,wrinkled slot gaskets and gelcoat nicks as they will definitely harm performance.
