Weight of the BB low vs. single OB higher and farther back?
I'm thinking if the 400R doesn't chine walk then why not? The western rivers are great to go fast in (unless you hit a log at 60) but with the 400R he could let the engine loaf at 40-50.

That is part of it I believe.
I also believe boats start to fly.
There is a reason they allowed race boats to cut down their hull sides and bring the pointy
end down in the 60`s.
When you have wind affecting the topsides and water affecting her bottom,
well things may look like a manatee gang bang.
