I think a stepped bottom boat is the right choice for me.
Well there were a ton of logs in the river last weekend. Evasive manuvers!

Why don't you buy a 37 Active Thunder? Runs with a twin step cig and has the nice cabin like an old straight bottom.... Best of both worlds.

Pretty sure he was asking about top guns and didn't mention anything about cabins.

Something about the notch I once read. Not sure what the other differences are. Weight? Lots of them have bravos which are more efficient maybe?

Does a flat deck with boxes run the same as a gun?

Not much of a difference in ride quality, both crush waves! There is a huge difference in speed.

Top gun owners exaggerate better.
