I think its time to set up some gopros at 120 fps and run the boat.

Nice job how does it run? Weight in the bow is never a bad idea!

yeah I've seen that before. Do we know what hull that is on? I'm guessing each hull has its own airflow and vacuum characteristics at speed.

All boats will be about the same - 1/4"-3/8" depth tapering to 0.00" @ approximately 8" forward of the transom. You won't want to go deeper than 1/4" - 3/8" into the glass at the transom, as you might start getting into the coring/transom wood. I recommend you coat whatever you modify with resin to assure a seal-coat over what lies beneath. I had to do this to my first 28 to get my water pressure back when I went to 2.25" above the bottom with the gearcases.
