I'm just trying to keep water from riding up the reverse tumblehome our boats have. By adding 1 1/2 inches to the chine from about midships back will make a huge reduction in the amount of water that comes up the sides. It will also add lift to the hull, which is a lot cheaper than repowering the whole boat. Think about it, look at any custom sportfish and you will see the exact same thing. An extra bit on the chins, and usually another rail above the water line. Trust me, it will make a difference.
