That is for very true. 42 is killer boat, but you are as long as a SEMI, or longer with a 4 door long bed.

Fortunately towing, launching, storing isn't an issue.
was really looking for how the 38 twin small step hull performs.

Standard length lowers on each about 5-7 mph over same power in a 35’ straight bottom and if same power with -2 lowers about 10-12 mph over a straight bottom 35 with same power. It’s a much faster hull with steps as well as the x dimension year over year changes higher and higher which also further gains from come -2 lowers on top of already much higher factory x in later years.

Your 35' Straight bottom likely had a 15.5-16" XD. I have never found a performance report for a 94, but in 93 they were 16". By 99-00 Fountain was deep into the 18-18.5" xd. You can see how adding -2 lowers to an already high 18.5" xd would result in a much higher prop shaft height along with a twin step bottom that will carry itself far more than the need to carry bow sky high with 3 blade mirage props with props a mile deep at 16" 6" and change under on a straight bottom.

There was a guy on here that is still on FB had one with modded 575's in it. I'll send him this thread, he would have some good info. I know the small step hull is the same one they had under the 38 fevers, not as fast as the larger steps but better than the straight bottoms.

Thank you!
Upgraded 575s is exactly which engines I be running along with -2 shorties

Talked with him, his was one of the few side by side large step 38's. I didn't even know they had made the side by side 38 in large step opps.

Not the same.

I didn't know that either. I thought all big step 38 were semi staggered then full staggered
