What? Apples aren't oranges, "ride better" ? Your talking a 39 w 900s and 4s acrummy slow setup, and comparinbg that at the same time with a step tiger, and none of that has anything to do with a step gun. The step gun hull has been spun at slow speeds, with no mechanical failures, in the past. It can be avoided, but not by the proper placement of a warning decal.

4195 I believe all of your points are valid , but I would venture to say that in a panic or sudden maneuver situation the straight bottom hull would be a little more stabile and /or predictable . I remember having to avoid a PWC in my 302 formula and time did not permit a controlled sweeping turn but a quick hard left to avoid a collision with a PWC that made a sudden u turn right into my path with a young a kid on board no less . In this situation I don't beleive a stepped hull would have executed that maneuver as safely as my the straight hull did. Just my personal opinion .
