I was just curious on what the strake/pad mods did for ride attitude. Does the boat ride flatter at high speeds? Etc.

Tomas,
If you test lengthening the inner strakes, we ended up at the best length being 6" past the CG. We just just screwed and glued on wood for testing.

Looks great. I also have a P&D, which (so far) only blueprinted the bottom taking out the hook as recommended by Joe N., (Pantera did not put the hook but P&D did). I am running a 540 NA engine with IMCO extension box and easlily hit 84 with 28 Bravo; rund smooth and controllable.
I did a strake extension on my 18 Donzi Classic and like the way it runs. I do not use tabs anymore and it sits on top of the chop a lot flatter at speed. Begreat to see how your project runs because I had considered extending the inside strakes on the P&D.
