Looks like you have a lot of time on your hands to write all this up. I'm sure people will appreciate your input on this boat. A flat bottom strut acts as a "trim tab" and it works decent on this boat as you know. Some have changed them out to the round version but it really depends on which one works for your style of running. A couple of things you need to do.
1. Get rid of the deans plugs and put at least EC5's on your battery before you have to rescue it from a wire coming unsoldered from the Amp draw from this boat.
2. Add more gap at your strut and drive dog *4-5mm (including the Teflon washer).
3. Get rid of that OEM flex cable and get a OSE upgraded cable or get kfxguy on here to make you one up or you will be purchasing a new prop and a cable.
Happy Boating!
Congrats on obtaining your goal! Also, If you continue to use 6s and try to corner very hard with the stock fin you will need to reinforce the inside of the hull where the turn fin mounts to the sponson because the small mount is too small doesn't cover enough area on the hull and the force of the fin in a "hot" turn will cause the hull to split in that area. It's a 10 minute project worth doing before it actually cracks.
