Pic of stepped hull in action from underneath

The back page of Boating Magazine had an ad from Regal with this picture. I thought it was interesting since it showed how the stepped hull works from a perspective we rarely see.

Sort of makes me wonder why manufacturers don't do this for every hull to see if their design works as it should. Maybe they do but I'm not aware.

Any, I thought it'd be good to post this since stepped hull designs have been discussed here forever.

Regal was showing a video that most likely that shot was taken from at the St. Louis boat show. It might be out on YouTube.

I say we get Jayboat a snorkel and turn him loose. He already has mastered the part where you go in the water with the camera gear.:evilb:

What about the shot of Reggies cat killer V , it's almost out the water at top speed ...how much effect does a stepped hull have
on speeds that fast ?

If you recall, Reggie also (correctly) stated that where the steps were placed on a given hull did relate to a number of other variables including how much power you had. The more power you had, the further back the steps needed to be to have any effect.

So cat killer was so fast, that wasnt a notched transom, it was the step?? :party-smiley-004:
