Just wanted to know the best balancing range for this hull ...

That's a difficult one with this boat.... Take the wing off then start moving the weight back until it starts to porpoise - This is caused by the shape of the hull at the rear and is actually the fastest point on this boat... Now put the wing back on and set it so the boat reacts the same - Move the weight fwds a bit . Now you can use the wing to give some lift as well. It should be around the 30% fwds mark

The real boat has a computer that holds it in position on the rockered rear end by adjsuting the incidence angle on the wing.

OK Allan

I'll go this way ...
And keep in mind the 30% number on the hull lenght ...

Custom Work can start now ...

30% of length hull seems to be the right starting point for every mono hull. This is what I use to trim (as well as I'm able) my hulls.

I'm preparing something like you, but I can't tell more for now...
