The twin stepped hulls do everything better than a flat antiquated bottom. Plane easier, crush waves the same if you trim it in (same entry as a non stepped boat) and have way better to end. The only reason somebody wouldn’t buy a TS over a straight bottom is the size of their wallet. You can buy straight bottoms for about half the price…

Agree...^^^^^

I owned a 2001 42 Tiger with the twin step. Good boat but you better know how to drive it if you want to go over 90mph. The steps were in the wrong spot and to big. Cigarette tried change them around with the relief and by staggering. They were not the best designs let’s face it. As far as straight vs step goes Offshoredrillin I would rather be a straight bottom Tiger at 100mph then my twin step. That boat came out bad a$$. I think the best argument on step vs.non step is resale and that’s because of what everyone posts not just because it’s better. In fact in many cases the step boat becomes a dangerous weapon in the wrong hands. Not sure of any spin outs in straight bottoms but I have seen tons in all the step boats. Just saying both have there place.

Still some summer left, next month or so is best weather...

Been running like a dream since I finished it...

the boat also !

Love what you did with it Rob. Absolutely bad azz.

Thanks daddio, have to get you and kelly to come out next year and run the bay, some of the best boating in the country, can run for hours between stops.
