Jrod and Hoovy1 had an issues with Pro Painters hull like that with the twins in there,they were trying to get more bow lift not less and a ride pad was not the solution. BUT I may be wrong...correct me if I am please?
YOU ARE SPOT ON,fact is should have bought to orriginal GTX it runs like a champ .I def do not think im seeing shadows those strakes are def not right they dont even look sharp.All adding a ride pad has done is create lift right at the transom which is the last thing you need if the boats allready running wet.Actually filling in those steps has done little if anything to changing how she will ride,they arent even real steps they are just relief cuts not real steps anyway.

def need to straighten these out
