RE: project complete...
Good advice Pro....
Flat bottoms do slide alot and run more on the transom. Flat bottom boats take more time to get familiar with driving than v hulls.
You got to get to know the boats handling characteristics alot more to control it. It's more like a "controlled slide" than a turn.
Plus it helps if the boat is overpowered, this allows you to be able to pull the boat out of a slide and into another direction.
