I know I will get bashed for this, but I'm not sure the speeds of stepped hulls increase as much as everyone on here thinks/says. Most of the non steps in question are side by side, heavy glass boats. The stepped hulls everyone likes to compare these older boats to have full stagger, lighter material hulls, usually with more hydro-dynamic lowers.........this combination also allows for "tricker" props as well. Never mind the ocean we boat in here in the northeast. I think I understand part of what the steps are doing. Not the least of which is to aerate the bottom. If you are out on a nice glass body of water there is no doubt in my mind the steps will help. But the real world around here with the chopped up water, waves coming at several directions, etc. not so much. Just my opinion!

A 525 38 PP runs 82-84 w/generator/a/c/flat screen tv. With 700's it is a high 90's boat (only one exists and it was built as a 525 boat new).

The PP was heavy with options never seen on a TG (enclosed head, genny/a/c and finished all the way to the bow) and it was a solid ride, you couldn't even feel the ventilation of the hull under the steps like in a TG. The 38 I drove had 400+ hours on it, 10,000 nautical miles on the GPS and it still hit 82.

There's almost a 20 mph difference. Straight bottom vs ts tg with 600's, mid 70's to mid 90's. As for the 38 pp, it is the same bottom as a 388 slingshot. They got sued over that years ago, probably why they are no longer around.

I didn't read this whole thread but "Out of Control" Lip-Ship 38 w/750 tunnel rammed N/A Zuls ran just over 105. Rumor was it ran near 110 but ya know how rumors are!
