Default High speed wiggle

What is this boat doing? I'm on it now. Finally running awesome. New prop with a bit of cupping added. Gets me at 4500 rpm. When it's planed out at about 62-65 mph. it does this wiggle. It's scary. What is that? I back off the throttle cause it's not predictable.

Chine walking it sounds like. Can be very dangerous.

It's very bizarre. I have years of runnin my drag cars. And know what to push through. I drive the boat to my comfort level. If I'm uncomfortable. Something isn't right. Didn't like that feeling. Is it a limitation of the hull? Or am I doing something wrong?

Are you turning the props in or out?

Could be a combo of both. Bajas aren't the fastest hills or most notorious for great handling at high speeds. Some extremely experienced guys have been able to drive through it on some hulls. However huge gamble. I believe the 22 donzi at the shootout was trying to drive through it and he has done it before.

I'm not sure what that means. It's a right hand mirage plus with a bit of added cupping.

I'm more interested in knowing if I'm doing something wrong. I'm not gonna put $$ into it to go faster. I will have a different boat by spring. I really like a 2000 formula 382 I looked at.
