Mike J might have some pictures. We don't.
They were glassed in 1/4 wide 8 inch long. It was not a difficult mod. How much it helped needs to be checked on a back to back test with data. We had the equipment but did not get it done. Always racing not testing. Jim Richardson would know if it made a difference.
They had spun there previous boat, that is why we did the in-line motors and bottom mods to improve on the handling and cg.

A wide pad would give it a better chance in tripping than the outside chines that are already shaped in a sharp vee...
