Didn't piss me off. I think the whole problem is cranking a hard turn-period. What is the purpose of doing that except to show-off?

Exactly

Don't get me wrong, I am not slamming the big stepped boats. Like I said, they are fine as long as you know their limits and stay within them. Remember, one of the reasons Fountain dominated racing in the 90's is because their boats were famous for their ability to be taken extremely hard into the turns. And as far as I am concerned there is nothing wrong with turning a boat hard as long as the boat is capable of handling that turn - which the older fountains and the single stepped 35's are certainly capable of doing. Fountain ads have claimed for years that Fountain boats are the best handling boats in the world. Fountains didn't get that reputation because you had to baby them in turns.

So now take a guy who is used to turning his old fountain like sob - just like it was designed to do - and throw him in a new super ventilated hull and ....... once in a while it ends badly.

Is it the boats fault? NO Is the boat defective? NO Is it the drivers fault? Yes, he should know the limitations of his boat.

Can you turn a new big stepped Fountain as hard as you can an older style without steps? NO

I will take the speed and normal turns with todays bottoms,still dont get the need to turn hard enough to lose it,never happens in my world.

You guys should talk to my buddy that got throw from a 2002 Top Gun, He takes turns real slow now. Their is a difference on driving tabs, drives ect ect.
