Steps in non-stepped hull?
I overheard a guy talking about this. Is it possible to install steps on a non-stepped hull? Anyone here done this? Would have to be one hell of a project but cool to see.

This boat had it done there probably is a thread on it.

Oh wow, that's pretty cool, and a sweet boat! Thanks for the info. Wonder what the gains were?

Anything is possible with time and money. I watched a guy hack up a perfectly good 12 meter Fountain up here a number of years ago by attempting to add a step to it. All he ended up with was a totally worthless boat that eventually got repossessed as a stripped hulk. And remember all of the horror stories about the evil handling that almost all of the early stepped hulls exhibited until manufacturers figured out how to do it right.
I wouldn't recommend it. |
