your triple is the same as a staggered you give up the 18" in the engine bay forward. My side by side has a smaller sun pad and my rear seat sits 18in further back from the front seats than your rear seat. i also believe that in the staggered and triple boats the front seats are a little closer to the dash then the side by sides. so your deck is the same deck as a executioner because there all staggereds. i dont believe there is any width difference between the early years and the later years, i believe there all 8'6" whether its a classic deck, lighting and executioner. which by the way the classic decks were called lightning until 98 when the tall winshield came into play then they called them lightning and the old lightning classic decks. when they brought the classic deck back in 2003'ish they called them executioner. As far as ride is concerned having owned both a straight bottom 42 and the step bottom the step rides smoother at speed and leveler allowing the bow to cut through the ways, and it handles LOTO just fine as im sure your triple does. the trips have a whoo factor at the docks but for the few time of top end runs you give up to much i think, i also think that the triple may be a little to heavey in the ass end. ive been in a few but havent spent enough time driving one to really get a feel for them.

Hey Later, do you have any cockpits pics of your boat? I like the extra room you get with the side by side set up, is this rare? (98 Big step w/side by sides), I thought most were stagg?

Went and looked at one yesterday. Guy said it was a 8.5 I'd hit it at a 4. Never been in salt, just needed a few things. Cuddy door was broke, looked like salt water damage to me, HIN # was on the boat twice couldn't see either and I've never seen a Myco in this shape before.
