I know powerboat racing has been into stepped hulls for years but when did they start using stepped hulls for production boats? :ernaehrung004: OK here's another one for debate. Strait nonstepped hull for handling or Stepped hull for topend speed? What would we rather have. Let the Debate begin again:party-smiley-004:

The first one that comes to my mind is a Hustler

I was not to sure . I have a 91 40 Fiore with a single step so I thought it might be close. Was the 40 the first production boat with a stepped hull? Or did Hustler make all their boats around that year stepped? Its funny how many people cant belive a boat that big 13,000 lbs with trip bone stock 502s will run 75 to 78 mph. GPS. 78 on 3 to 4s lake Erie with over 400 hours on the motors and 6 people on board. I love this boat:ernaehrung004:

Here is a real question for you. What is the fastest theoretical speed of a full displacement hull? Some slight variations exist, I believe one includes wetted surface. |
