Here's what the guy who designed the boat had to say:
Its official.. Super Vee 27s have started to ship.. We wish you all good water.
I would like to be the first to offer some tuning tips regarding your new boat. Please feel free to ad as much information as you might gain in your QUEST FOR SPEED.
Here is my Grimracer setup.
Aquacraft SuperVee 27
Entire bottom scuffed with red scratch pad (Menards, Lowes, etc)
One thin cote of Pacer Z-Poxy Finishing Resin on all wood parts (#PT-40)
SS trim plate’s .5deg positive to the bottom of the hull
Strut set at 0deg
Rudder blade tucked full under (stock shear bolt)
DTX 3800s (two 6 cell packs)
Added turn fin to the port side (AQUB7882)
Octura X-440/3 prop (bag)
Top speed… 38MPH (note: the wind blows almost all the time here, typically our water is loose)
That’s it.. does not sound like much and to tell you the truth its not.. The SuperVee is very complete and it takes very little effort to get it really singing, Enjoy.
Please feel free to post your tuning tips here. Like you I never feel like I get enough tuning in..
ROCK ON

In addition, he told me this a few days back in an email:

Bear in mind that you need to sharpen and balance most props to maximize the performance.
Here's at least one link on that subject:

Hope that helps.
