In addition to the above:
- this is a shallow vee hull with strakes, and lots of lift because it was designed to go 15 mph with very limited power (the power setup you have is much stronger than the original stock setup). Going a lot faster than stock will cause it to hop, no matter how many trim tabs or drive line modifications you make. Only adding lots of weight will keep it on the water as it is now.
- straightening the drive system will still result in a submerged drive. The prop will still lift the hull up and it will still hop at speed. A true surface drive stinger setup will help the most, but also require the most work. Crackerboxes (similar drive and hull shape) with true surface drives can attain higher speeds with less hop than the usual solid shaft versions.
- where is the CG? You moved it back when you changed the pack location, hence the worse performance. Moving it farther forward will help a bit.
If it were my Candy, I?d reduce the power and run it at the speed it was designed for instead of chopping it up and hoping I?d be able to reduce the hopping. I?d get a more modern hull and put the time and $$$ into it. But it?s the OP?s boat, I wish him well.
