An unfortunate design aspect of that particular boat is the lack of adequate sponson height (and thusly freeboard/tunnel clearance). If the sponsons were made 6-8" taller I'd be a TC 255 owner.

Agree, unfortunately the molds for the TC 24 and TC 255 used the same hull/bridge deck configuration. The TC 24 being much lighter. The TC 255 needs at least 6 more inches of tunnel clearance to realize its full potential. Once on a plane, the tunnel opens up, but with a certain height of wave, the tunnel again makes contact.

ChapaRRal Cock looks like a great job and system. You may have already covered that positive bus bar which is exposed. ABYC would require that all positive bus bars have a cover of some sort. I have used spit clear vinyl hose to affect in places where it is difficult.
