Flegs is the same hull I have, same as the taller deck 320 88-89 years not the ES, it was a totally different animal. The one in the video is also a Force/Caliber hull

Take it to a fiberglasser,,or fly mine over to you and have him or anybody u know glass a Thru -V- over the Pat on the botom.
All issuis resolved !!!!
Or make the botom strakes wider !
I even know a guy in germany that could do that for ya ,,,may even be better then buyng engines and little less expensive.
His name is Carl Class in Worms Germany owner of Classperformance boats.
Tell him a german guy from USA send u.

The pad is the flat spot at the rear bottom of the hull. Pads are there to help increase speed. When you get up to speed, the pad will be about the only part of the boat touching the water.
I think you are worrying more about making changes to the boat before you're even comfortable with it. How much seat time do you have in the boat????
Get comfortable with it with the power it has and you will learn what it will need when you want more speed.

There is nothing wrong with the 320es. It is a great boat. You just need to have k-plane tabs & outward rotating propellers to keep it stable.
You can put 600hp a side in it & be just fine.
If you are thinking there is a problem with the bottom, you are just mistaken. The bottom of that boat has a pad on it. Think of a "v" & take the point off the bottom & replace it with a straight line. That is what the bottom of the boat looks like. Lots of boats have a pad.
It won't be an issue if you put on the k-planes & turn the propellers outward.

It is not a "problem"
It is just the way it is. Its a Baja 320ES. Its not a Cig Top Gun. It may not be the best design, but it will be fine. There is no reason to throw money at it and do major changes to the bottom.
