Very cool - not surprised you're still chine-walking at 50; even the extended strakes are likely out of the water at that speed!

Nice boat brother. Chine walking means your nose is too high or your prop is wrong. A laser II, although a great prop in most other cases is a bow lifting prop. You definitely don't need that. You can work that prop to fix the issue on that hull, I had success, but I had a 22" labbed, thinned the blades and added a ton of trailing edge cup. Also, trimmed the ears to a point, like an offshore cut. Ended up with a merc cleaver...
