I know your taking a beating in this thread already but I just want to clear this up. You say the AT has a big single step which isn't exactly true. The beauty of the DDC bottom is that it acts more like two hulls fused together inline to put it simply. In a single DC hull, the forward portions are typically of a varying deadrise but take their form from sections of a cone. The after part is the delta. Mr. Schoell introduced the DDC ("stepped") version to allow for extending the length without widening the beam of the boat and actually has even improved performance over the standard DC hull design.

All the other brands have steps.

Ok, I knew the switch was sometime around then. I recently looked at a 94 or 95 and saw it was a Cannon.

If someone doesn't want to buy my boat because of that history so be it! lol

Frank, I need to use your $hitter!!!
