Eddie, do you have any good pics of the bottom, and/or a pic of the step(s). I have not looked at one of these Skaters up close. Just curious to see what it looks like.

I don't, but I can take some today. It has a step up really far toward the bow. The first step is only about 10 feet from the bow. I've never seen one that far forward. I'll post some shots this evening.

Here are a few shots of the bottom. They are not very good, but it is the bist I could do at the time. The bottom has 4 steps, 2 larger and 2 smaller. They they are small, large, large, small, starting from the front. It also has a notch.
Enjoy, Eddie

Getting closer to the water. This is the first time I'm using this exhaust. It is the Hurricane's from Hardin Marine. They have a 2 1/4" primary and are made of heat treated 316 SS. Very nice piece, especially for the money.

the transom housings have a wedge plate between them and the hull the reason is for clearence and cg the five step boats run really flat ( skater -Ol) so the motors still are facing down when running. If you had two right hand rotation motors on a 16 degree transom angle the motors would be much higher hence with the high horsepower in a small boat would make it a handful to drive. the wedges make the transom angle to 10 degrees which also gives you a higher x dimension on small freboard boat

hope this helps
