Like Brandon said, when the first stepped 42's were built they ran great with bravos. When they put the sixes in 'em and pushed the motors forward due to the trannies it f*cked the CG up royally. Thus the birth of the 42X. the 42X changed the steps around to accept the new CG with big power/trannies/sixes. Its commonly mistakenly quoted that the "stepped 42" rides like crap. It was only in the above listed circs. The 42x is an AWESOME machine. And the stepped 42 with bravos is also a great running boat.
Tanner, if you go and confirm this with the gentlemen you spoke with I'm sure he'd agree.

Hi Folks - Let us step ahead nearly 11 years. Please bring your current thoughts, opinions and experiences to the table, between the 39 and 42x with 700s. I have yet to ride in either but I believe one of the two will be my next choice. Thanks.
