Re: Cig stepped hulls
If you're properly instructed on operating a step boat at speed, they're only somewhat trickier than a straight bottom. Otherwise, high-speed turns can be lethal- literally.

I've been driving step bottom boats since 1999 and never had a problem. Read the latest issue of Powerboat and they have some excellent tips on turning a step bottom by Tres Martin. One thing to remember is that you DO NOT turn a step bottom like a traditional V. Keep the drive trimed out right past neutral and settle the boat befor the turn.
