    i take it you guys don't use water ballast then? Fuel tank fixed or moveable? I am not a designer or builder but I am planning to widen my spray rails slightly to reduce porpoise and chine walk. Is that an option. Make some out of wood and glue them on?

    Hope you left your competition in the dust, or spray, well maybe in your case - dust :)
    I was referring to trim tabs that you can use to reduce bow up trim.
