IMO your going to want to make pole mount flat. This gives you the most versatility with different poles and brackets. Plus unless the underside is on the same angle you will have the bolts trying to net against a compound angle and could increase stress on the structure and/or a sloppy bracket. And I wouldn't mount the pole all the way to the nose unless your after backflips. To me it makes it a lot harder to stab and can only speculate harder to role and stay flat/tucked.

no matter what the bracket will be mounted on a level surface, i am def going for backflips, after looking at other hulls i figured move the bracket up as close as i can, im thinking of leaving it where it is at

still not totally sure about then nose, wondering if should start over and mount the bracket lower and further forward and angle it or just leave it how it is and continue, any feedback would be helpful!

had to fix the rail on the lower half i molded, just used some carboard and tape and re molded the section of it.
when i lowered my hood i just left the pole in stock place with an AC pole here is some pics. but since i put that project on hold and have seen your im thinking about leave the hand pole right were it it and from the front of the nose cutting around -9 off the font and glass back together. plus it already has -3 in the rear
