She runs great in rougher water... Running next to a 312 Fastech she seemed to be planted much more

The new bird is looking great.
I'm sure your 357 would plant more than a 312 since it has a step in it. Even though it is just one it makes a difference from a mono hull carving a solid trough in the water. I noticed how much more solid and even rigid my 357 rides compared to a stepped 382; quite a difference.
