Doesn't make any sense that a boat with steps that sits higher in the water would run better in rough water then a boat that has a flat bottom and sits deeper??

You have to have experience in both boats for it to make sense.

Probably have more experience then you think there big guy!!!

:eek:

I just got back from LOTO and I can say my T/S ate that chit up!!
Had the best time ever on that lake. Bring on da slop!!!

Don't be scared!!! I am basically asking a question so if you're so experienced then let's hear the answer?? Explain why a T/S will run better in the rough then a flatbottom?

Bravo boat to Bravo boat, I would prefer a T/S Gun.
With Speedmaster's in them, its a different story. Flatbottom Guns with speedmasters are better balanced then T/S Guns with speedmasters because of them having the cabins in them vs virtually nothing for cabins ( and weight ) in the T/S's. SSM T/S 38 Guns just dont run well overall, from being tail heavy, from what I have seen. Granted, there arent that many of them.

Talk to Phil @ Lip-Ship. He will tell you there is no comparison. Twin-step is the way to go. And, yes, it rides noticably better.

not to steal the thread-but Quinlan did you have the 38 with the Zuls?

All I know is I owned a 93 strait bottom (twice), a 97 strait bottom and a 2001 TSTG. No comparison at all, not even close the TSTG at least at LOTO is hands down a better boat.

My experience, your's may vary.
