A twin engine fountain should not chine walk . Check trim indicaters to make sure the trim is right at wot possition. If it porposes use trim tabs to kill it . You may gave to trim pretty high to get it to stop moving around . Sometimes fuel slosh causes problems . Check drive alignment too. Mine does not like the dtives trimmed down

I really think the question that should be asked is what can be done to eliminate chine walk, not drive thru it,
Sure, your always going to get an occasional wobble, but if a boat or a series of chine walks most of the time, there is a hydrodynamic instability.
If your truck got severe speed wobbles at 60 mph all the time, would your answer be to let your family pucker while you death grip the wheel and try and drive thru it or would it be at the shop to figure out whats wrong?
