Who had the first (production) stepped hull?
Now I am not talking about some rare one-off race boat from the late eighties. I'm talking about your "typical" production boat. I know that the 33' Scarab got "stepped" in '98 (the 38' in '99). I know the Formula got the Fastech hull in 97. And I saw a '95 Fountain that was stepped in the classified section. But what about , Cigarette,Apache,Advantage,Pantera,etc. Just curious....Mike

Hustler power boats did in the mid 80's. When they wanted to add a 40' to there line up of 21', 26' and 32' they took 8' of the back section of a 32' hull and bolted it to another 32' to get the 40' and started sea trials and achieved the 1st step hull. Fiores did this with the help of Mark S from Activator.

They issued a patent for a "Stepped" hull in 1904.

Gancia de Gancia was stepped in '88. Don't know if it was a 'Production hull'.
Would production be defined as produced in a mold?
Was the Hustler molded or assembled from pieces?
