IMO dont modify that bottom, big mistake. you have the wrong props. im a big chopper prop fan, but not on that hull. my 2 cts, get a pair of trophys, solasl4, not expensive investment, and will make huge difference. 4blades. btw that boat is beautiful, my dream boat. vking is right. maybe turbo 4 blade, rev4.?

No im not gonna modify it. Im going to try with cleavers.

you need power steering to make it easier to control chine walking

have you put a straight edge back to front to see if their is a hook in the bottom check from transome 5 ft forward especially out by the chine a hook in the bottom can cause a chine walk

Hi. Some update. I bought some 4-Blade 15x28p cleaver props. I did my first test run today. I drove in 82mph with no chine walk. There is more speed to get but this was only a short test drive to see how the props works on the boat.
Thank you for all the help i got here.

It could be that the previous owner kept the props he ran and installed some choppers he wanted to get rid of. Almost all of us go faast nuts have a couple of "favorite" props we won't let go of. Good choice of props you made.

glad props worked for u
now time to slowly dial in prop height to what boat likes,,,,
figured the 28 cleavers were a good rpop to motors and hull,,,,,4 blades are a plus
lot better control in the sloppy water,,,
now enjoy and be safe with it,,,,,
