Great work and great pix!
It's always nice to see guys doing mods to there boats not just for the quest of speed but for better handeling.
I have a 28' single engine V bottom boat that has BBC twin turbo engine.
The hull is an Aero marine used by panther,python,magnum,Sunsation and others.
I have been working out the bugs In the engine and have spent most of the summer doing it. I know have them sorted out and am starting to see this boat has some handeling issues after it reaches 80+ MPH
I don't have a delta pad but have been told by a few people it's a good hull design. What I would like to know and learn here is how do I make this boat run more stable at high speed. This Engine is only making 5 lbs and I have already seen it touch 90 mph but get really out of shape which I would like to fix!
If I upgrade the turbos down the road and make even more boost this thing will need to Handel way better than it does now!
Soooo where do I start?
It has a SSM#3 drive with a 2 sp B&M trans
I already know the X dimension is way to deep and plan on installing a #5 drive which is 6" shorter to start tuning the X dimension and props.
What I want to know what to do to the hull to make it Handel high speeds !
So any info here would be great

If you are planning to go with the #5, start with that. The handling will most likely get way better with the higher X.
Also, check the straightness of the bottom.
