I think a SSM No. 6 trims in further, but my straight bottom Top Gun has zero slip getting on plane. The prop shaft is only 1/4" below the hull, props are 17 x 32 four blade.
It's probably a combination of the SSM No. 4 or 5 not tucking in as far as the 6's..........and the fact the older Guns do not have a notched transom. The notch will allow for higher drive heights.
I also remember Powerplay notched their SSM rigged hulls and kept the Bravo hulls as a standard V hull design.
