The 6 blades stern lifted and wanted to put the bow down at speed causing hook....... Twin steps and stern lift is a bad combination!

Thats a question I.ve always wondered.I know the X dimension has been lowered in later Gladiators and that might make the difference.Overall my boat runs great with the six blades.However,there are times when I feel that my bow is down a little too much in certain conditions causing the boat to ride a liitle rougher than I would like.Phil swears by the 6 blades,and he knows Gladiators as good as anyone.I suppose I should try some 5 blades for comparison.
