Man I am blown away at the comments on chine walking, actually shocked. What do you guys think is going on in the cockpit of the really fast Vee boats?.

chine walk and porpoise
Does anybody have experience with early 80's 26' scarab ?? Mine came with an arneson #6 I've eliminated the hook and sharpened the strakes. the motor is a 350HP SB. I stripped every thing out I could and without fuel and misc stuff it went over the scales @ 4000 LBS I bought Eddie Marine trim tabs , I'm not sure whether to mount these following the "V" or horizontal right where the mid point strake hits the transom any thoughts??? thanks AWsr
