Short answer..... do not do it. A pad is used normally on high performance hulls to provide a flat surface to improve high speed handling. Are you experiencing chine walking? Isn't your hull aluminum? I really like your hull and I see no benefit in trying to change it.

A pad is normally used on a high performance hull to prevent chine walking. What you describe is fairly normal from prop torque.
