Too many opinions and favorites being played here.
Sounds like we need a real world side-by-side comparison. (Like this hasn't been beaten to death ever since the T/S design came out)
I still think the T/S will be faster no matter what, and I have an old non-stepped boat, so I'm certainly not beating my own drum here. They will carry a better average speed.
I'm on the Great Lakes, and I would rather have the T/S!
Back to selling prices; in the end, would be nice to have real data on what the boats are actually selling for. I do think that well taken care of boats in a market where there is little relative supply, will be commanding a premium. Buy a $150K boat that needs nothing, or buy a $100K boat that needs $50K.....

3 footers aren’t going to make a straight bottom run 80 mph though like a t/s. People with steps love their boats and people without steps love their boats so who gives a chit. They’re all cool boats and It seems that everyone is happy with what they have.
PS, I would love to run circles around full force in his wave crushing machine. I was convinced the mistress was the best hull ever but now it’s the 38

Jbean let it go, I am not the only person that says that, he’ll Dan said same thing, yet youcall me out.... you know what I say to that.... soooo I love how others can say the same things I do and I get called out, it’s honestly comical. It’s no secret overall straight hulls do better, but go forbid FF Tim says a word Lololol some of you people literally crack me up, hope you feel better about yourself today, you made the FF Tim comment

80mph in true 3 ftrs, I would love to see that. Personally, I wouldn't do it in anything under 42-46ft. Call me a wuss but I've been there, done that and spun. (granted it was prob a 5 to 6 ft rouge wave/hole) HOWEVER, I've wised up and I just don't do that anymore.

You ever come down to Lake Erie our way? We should get together. What does your boat have again? You have big power and drives, correct? I would imagine that your boat would smoke mine, in any water. Regardless, I'd love to see your boat.
