Step or no step?
 
I am looking to buy and have found 2 32ft Fevers they are a 95 and 96. One with step hull and one without. Both have 502 Mags. Which is the best for speed and comfort?
thanks RB

Both should have steps as all 1995 models I have seen have steps. Maybe it is a leftover from 1994. That being said the step bottom will be faster/more efficient with the same power.

The steped boat wil be faster with same power and even smaller power do to less drag on the bottom. Some say that steped boats do not ride as nice as a straight bottom but I went from a 27 straight bottom to a 33 twin step Nd think the ride is grate

Just sold my 1994 32' flat bottom. It rode great handled great but was a little on the slow side. I had nice power in it around 550 hp each. On a good day it would just barely touch 80. I was looking at a late 1997 model 32' with the single step I could not tell the difference in the ride. But the speed was right around what mine would run with stock 502's. So the hull is a lot more efficient. If I was going to buy one go for the step models there are several out there for sale that are priced fair.
