i think whats crazy, even with all the new bottom tech, the major factor in speed is still weight. Also the fact that a non-step hull starts running out of bottom at certain speeds, but I would like to see a 42 cigarette straight bottom vs a 42 twin step with optimal props and drive heights using todays tech. Both boats with 700's......This would give an accurate idea of how much better the bottom is. I remember speaking to somebody that worked at Cig back when the first stepped boats started coming out and he told me that the step really only gained a couple if any mph, and it wasnt until they started raising the drives and lightening up the boats that the speeds came up.
