Has to be pricey for someone who isn't capable of doing their own work!

I think I still have the files for the vents. You can take them to a local shop that has a water jet machine and make them pretty easily.

The steps are custom one-offs made by yours truly! One other guy asked me a couple months ago and asked me if I could make him some, he wasn't so interested when I told him the price, they are extremely labor intensive!!

Nigel Hooks red Lucas Oil boat I'm guessin? I had heard the steps were added and the the original bottom was still intact under the addition. Sounds like a heck of a project.

Are you talking about Jeff Haylett? He showed me the steps he did and I saw his boat run very well. I thought the boat was a 10 meter, but I could be wrong.

Yeah, that was a 10 Meter. Doug Popma said there was a lot of money in the bottom of that boat. I believe it was one of the first step bottom fountain.
