Good comments regarding overcoming the bounce…we have to remember that MVP bottom like the riot has a dynamic C/G that starts near the stern and will eventually settle to more like the centre of the hull once you burp the air out the back of the tunnels…I agree with lots of throttle and trim to overcome the bounce and yes start tapping in after your over the hump zone…you should be able to fly right through the bounce and yes it will take seat time,
The other thing is fly-it into a head wind and that will help to….but watch out for gust patterns

If the stern feels light, and like it wants to come-a-round...engine height may be to high for the cleaver...a 1/8" down can make a significant difference in the handling and yes Cleavers are more prone to this effect over an ET

Also check out the gallery for the lake kosh speed runs from a few years ago I tried 6 different props on the 1000' track there and tried 3 different trim heights for each prop...you are allowed 3 runs per 20.00 I paid 100.00
So there are alot of photos...
Also the ottawa races in the gallery section have photos of not just my Riot but another one from illinois running.

That picture is the perfect attitude for a Riot at speed. If you see some of KK flying it more, that's probably when he's going a little slower trying to blast through that mid range.

The Riots and Twisters are 100% Klegecell. I never knew him to build a boat with a wood transom - and Ron said it...there's nothing wrong with wood. If it stays sealed in gelcoat and fiberglass, it'll theoretically stay dry.
The only wood you might find in the Riots and Twisters were behind the dash because klegecell isn't good material for mounting gauges, etc. Many Allisons are like that too.Sam Baker

Looks like a case of over-trimitis.

If my
Boat doesn't sell real soon I will probably convert to single seat only which will mean redoing the entire dash....and I will lose the backseat completely.And then I will keep the boat til it won't float no more....
