Default V-design on float

When I designed the floats for my Goldberg Falcon, the bow section (front to step) is V-shaped 15 degrees each side, but I did not V the bottom of section from the step to back.

Just wondered what effect this section being V-shaped VS flat has on take off and landing. Have seen floats shown both ways-but noticed the floats on posted picture in Rigging a Water Rudder and they have a severe V-shape on back section. Do I need to make a change to V.
