Hull Step Flair at Transom - Pics

If it is splayed outwards and you have some downwards angle on the outer chine it may give you more stern lift. With the heaver outboards people always seem to want or need more stern lift and having the chine turn down will give it more lift. You may have a hard time getting the cap on if it not back on already but if you can get it all out it may not hurt you and rater help you maybe. This is just a guess as its hard to say what other negative effects may rise up from the changes but Ive seen people add wedges to the chines before to angle them down so they get more lift. Just a thought.
