You should have filled the holes in the transom and redrilled them correctly.

You did it right drilling new holes that close to the orginal would create a weak spot. So how's it driving now?
Cobra,
You are very correct that Nitro should have taken the time to make sure that their work was quality work, but I guess that was not their priority.
At some point, when you sell the rig, be sure to let the next owner be aware that the holes on the transom are incorrect, so if he would to replace the JP, he would know how to correct it.
Did it drive any differently after leveling ?
Update after driving. It made an improvement. It does still have some chine walk but it's no where near as violent when I really get it up on the pad. Still learning the "sweet spot" but have seen 67. So now it's time to learn to drive it and play with the setup, I may need to go to a 24 fury, the 25 may be a touch much for tournament load.
