I think the bigger boats had alot more labor put into the finnished product over the smaller boats. My Tantrum had a hook in it. After I had it blue printed, it had more bow lift(and we did not put any rocker in it)It did not feel so stuck to the water. As far as top speed, I'm not sure what I picked up because I made other changes at the same time. If you are looking for every MPH I would do it. It also depends on how fast you are going. If its a 65 MPH boat I do not think it would make as much a difference as a 100 MPH boat. It's easy to see how bad(or good) your hull is just by useing a straight edge. Hope this helps

Its really for a couple of reasons. I am going through the engines again this winter, it might be a good time to look at it. So I am looking for the best performance. The boat also leans to one side when up and running. Not sure if its a weight distribution problem, prop issue or if it can be attributed to the hull.
Any ideas?

I would start by useing something as a straight edge, hold it up against the hull from front to back. look for light between the straight edge and the hull. Look at the last 6 or 8 feet at different places moving it up the v
