The boat has a pad along the keel towards the rear of the boat and when at speed it becomes a balancing act while riding on that pad.
If you have any smaller V-pad boat experience you'll be fine. If not, take your time and learn how the boat reacts to small left to right steering inputs as you try to counter-act the tendency to chine walk.

Chine walk? Haven't heard that term. I've been talking to Kenny about it some and he told me to take baby steps. I tend to always go big or go home! I was told I will fill it when I start hitting the pad, like it's floating. Sound rite?

Chine walk is where the boat begins to dance side to side. Here is a you tube video link of a boat chine walking http://youtu.be/MJ63zJCtYUs

A video is worth a 1000 words. Here's a vid of the 32' 03 I use to own. I'v danced. At the start of the vid my k-planes got stuck in the up position. This is chine walking at it's best. We also did a little wake jumping that day. Watch the vid to the end and trust what Kenny said, "baby steps".
