Thanks for any help or advice.

I'm not an expert on Powerquests hull and x and y dimensions of there drive placement but single engine step hulls will have more of a tendency to walk the dog on you than in a twin engine boat. I would try the oposite on a twin step revenge and at WOT try running your drives at 4 and your tabs at 2 and see if this settles the boat down some. Again it is a short hull.

My 270 Laser has a built 454, running about 550hp out of it and use to chine walk before I did the IMCO 2" shorty. I got more top end and a better quaility of a ride. Side by side with my buddies boat I run 72mph.
