    As for staggered. Here's my answer from Steve David......

    Staggered gives a better center of gravity and more advantageous thrust line. Also reduces chine walk.

    How fast are you thinking of going someday?

    I want to be able to run 100 any day of the week. The new engine build will most likely get me right around 1100HP, but only time will tell. I knew running a staggered config allows for a lower CG and better thrustcapabilities never heard of reduce in chine walk. What is the theory on that?
