Something is disturbing a pretty large amount of water and causing a splash up into the rooster tail. After looking back at your build pictures I would say that you have a dip in the starboard chine ju...

In fact you can mix the slow and medium hardeners together in any ratios you want to create custom cure times.

Quikfair can be applied over epoxy resin without sanding if done 24-36 hours after epoxy application? you need to sand the epoxy, if for no other reason to remove highs, the QF needs some tooth to grab on to.
