Al you were talking about when this hull starts to get outa control. I want to ask everyone what speed they have seen the big step hull get out of shape? Is there some things I need to do now to help with it since I'm building it for big power. I know glass dave has some ideas. Chip from competition marine had some advice also. What is everyone's thoughts. Thanks.

I really do not know what speed that they become tough to drive. RBH who has several real fast 42's had one and told me that it was a handful. I think that is was over 120 that it became an issue.

The power has been ready to drop in for awhile now and I have all the parts to get the boat in the water. Boat is supposed to be ready to be picked up any day. Should get exciting soon!
