How would you set up the plates on this runner bottom? The bottom is not flat is has about 1/4” of V in the center runner where the plate starts. The outer runners are concave about 1/2” and have some V in them from the center of the boat. I put some black tape straight across the back of the boat so you guys can see the shape of the bottom. The outer chimes/rails stop before the plates not like most Runner bottoms, you can see this in the last picture. Cole told me that this is to let air out the sides like a true flat. If I use a straight edge off the bottom to set up the plates, the center plate has V in it and the outer plates are concaved. Even if you guys have never set-up plates on a bottom like this I would like to get your .02 cents on how you think it should be done?
