every body talks prop shaft height .i think it is not getting your prop shaft even with the bottom it is getting the bottom of your bullet or gear case out of the water so it don't drag . then you can fly like the king says bye bye movie stars lol.

I guess when someone pays well over a quarter million for a new boat I'd expect a degree of uniformity in the hull. I thought that went into a Fountain since they talk about each hull being assembled and tested individually.
I also understand that the hull could possibly change some over time due to rack, lift or trailer storage.

Manufacturing isn't an exact science, there are variations in the materials and the building process. You can take two new identical cars or two new F/A-18 Hornets, etc. and one will perform slightly better than the other. Where do you think the term "ringer" comes from?
