That warning is there due to the step bottom design and the fact that most people do not understand how to properly handle them at speed in a turn. The reduction in wetted surface and the aeration of the inside prop and skeg on a step bottom boat in a turn is what leds to people spinning them. Hardly 'best guess' design...more nature of the beast. Same as that it is the nature of the beast that your 'Bu is going to ride like chit in even a mild chop.
I will let an expert or some one with experience in a DDC hull explain.

Nope dont know AT, but I do know stepped hulls...my speciality in school was high speed hydrodynamics...and if that hull was a cig from the 90'-2004 it was a Mike Peters hull, hardly a designer known for 'best guess' engineering.

Only one...instead of a brown shirt, that scenario would likely be better represented with brown SHORTS.
