I just bought 24' Superboat. They started having step bottoms in 1998 I believe. Mine is a 2000 model with 454 Mag. I saw 70.1 on the GPS this weekend. It is very much a no frills boat. It looks classic and runs great. I would suggest trying to find one. I believe there is still one in Texas very similar to mine but with a 502 on www.boattraderonline.com . I don't know anything about it though. Oh, it does have a port-a-potti, but no one is allowed to use it!

Yeah, here's the one in Texas
