Here are a couple of responses to the Bahner, and the reason why i was asking. I do appreciate there input as i do everyones...But from what im told you cant set up every boat the same, so we will see here shortly how she will run.. and 2nd post i only have a 2deg up wedge so its 6degrees up angle

wow, it's looking real good so far. Since you have the Roger's bottom on it, you will probably find out it will like a 2ยบ down wedge instead of going up with it. With it that far up, it's gonna bury that transom quite a bit and slow it way down.
I've got the same bottom on my boat with a similar set-up.

It looks like you've added a droop, which will change everything. The droop gives you an additional 8 degrees(typical droop angle) up angle. So, it looks like you have a 4 degree up wedge and 8 degree droop, that's 12 degrees up. Subtract the 4 degrees down that most pumps are mounted and you're still looking at 8 degrees up angle. That will make a helluva rooster tail, but might not be so good for top speed and will most likely cause some porpoising.
The set up will take some time. Each change will affect the speed and ride of the boat. It will be up to you to decide what works best for you.
And if I were you, I'd ditch the rudder completely. The only thing they are good for is to cause a massive drag.
