A discovery process is used to determine settings through a turn, some hulls , drives or props may lift the hull in different areas when navigating a high speed turn.We found that some hulls like some negative trim in a turn, while some like it nuetral, and some need positive trim to carry.We teach these things in UPC, PBC and we have conducted Race classes for many now here in the states and from the U.K. We just did 2 race classes in the last 3 weeks.Attempting these turns without proper education or set skills may cost you a damaged hull and equiptment, or injury or even death. there has been 2 accidents in the last two weeks involving high speed turns, one of them resulted in a fatality.Do not attempt these things without proper training and dont let everyone tell you how, its not their boat or life.

A step bottom boat is just a different type of boat and needs to be set up for the turn different than a conv. V or Cat. I guarante I can turn a stepped Extreme as fast or faster than you can turn your conv. V Dave
