Hey there, welcome. :up:

That's an interesting question, Solid mounts, tight steering, some set back, and a chopper prop will help handling but won't necessarily eliminate chine walk. You have a newer XT. It is maybe heavier and your a little underpowered, so you may not see much improvement in speed with your current horsepower.

As far as the your wind screen, (from a previous post) I checked into that a few years ago and could not find a shop that offered that kind of service. However , I found plenty of how to videos on cutting, bending and drilling plexiglass.

Again, welcome.
