hook is a slight down-turn in the hull at the transom...easy to verify the extent with a straight edge laid across the bottom - if there is a gap between the straight edge and the hull you have hook

Is the straight edge laid Bow to Stern, or side to side?

Here is a good read to fix a hook, called blue printing a hull

You have to get the hook out of your bottom, so all the ladies that dress like hookers want a ride in your fast boat.

For a brief moment there, I thought someone had started a fishing thread on OSO so I looked outside to see if the world had ended then returned to my iPad to read the thread.........

Phew!!
