There is no exact measurement anybody can give you. There are small differences in virtually every prop even within a product line. How you load the boat, and balance/distribute the load also matters – as well as your driving skills. No setup will ever eliminate chine walk. Until you learn to handle the chine and keep it from happening – youll never see the full potential of the hull.Its been said many times on this and most every forum – come up on the plate 1/4″ at a time until the hull loses speed, lift, water pressure, or gets too stiff with prop torque to properly steer. Then drop it 1/4″. A BCB hull, when properly set up, wont need a lot of trim to run. If youre throwing very much of a rooster tail – youre over trimmed or motor too high. The higher on the plate you are – the less trim youll need to max. Rooster tails and high bows may look cool, but show a poor setup and lack of driving skills. Find a buddy that knows how to set up and drive a BCB hull. Let them do the driving and coaching you until you learn to feel the steering inputs / trim and driving cadence necessary to keep the walking from happening. Proper setup makes handling simpler and more controllable. There isnt a performance hull that will allow you to maximize speed without actually “driving” the boat. Fast boats walk.
