Some claim a difference, some say none. I had a 2000 Fastech with 572 HP that ran mid 70s. With the stock 415 HP 502 best I saw 64 mph. Most cosmetic changes started around 1998.

After reading the 96 Brochure and the 97 FASTech brochure, I see that the hull, strakes, step, pad and notched transom are the big differences. The 97 still has the black/dark gray dash, where as the 98 started the white dash. Keep in mind this coming from a novice compared to some others here on the board, I don't know a whole lot about the earlier models.

I've started to have a real appreciation for single step. Got a buddy with a 2000 271 with single step. Boat runs and handles great. Gotta another buddy who's pop has a 312. It is an absolute wave crusher. Rides like a dream, amazing how different it is from my 292 with twin step. If given the option between 312 vs 292 I might have to go 312.
