IMO no one has done anything as of within 10 years for new bottom design and or converting V hull straight bottoms to a new line up of stepped hulls except SEA VEE. I do know they put in alot of time in with it. I even talked to the designer of the bottom Robert K. in an airport waiting for our flights during that time of the build. Anyways here is some info

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ayaIk3JfYiU OL seems to come out with new bottom designs all of the time. Are they variants of hulls past...sure. But doesn’t apple do the same thing with iPhones. We should give a little more credit where credit is due... |
Im really disappointed in you guys !! You have all skipped past the most obvious and beneficial benefit of stepped hulls.
With stepped hulls, the trailer bunks are broken into sections, with each section going towards the rear of the trailer being taller. This well thought out and planned design feature helps prevent the boat sliding backwards off the trailer because you forgot to properly strap it down, When that happens, not only do you look like a complete idot, you cause a major traffic backup resulting in your fellow motorists saluting your pride and joy with one finger. Dont be that guy, get a stepped hull !!! https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.off...98fe5942f6.jpg https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.off...10972c3971.jpg |

Your second pic disputes that theory
No, it doesn't..... it proves you need real steps, manly steps, not some itty bitty super wimpy bump on the bottom of the hull because the manufacture was to lazy to sand the plug smooth when he built the mold step.... |

First I am talking about V bottom designs only. OSO members 90 percent are V hulls owners up here if I had to guess so I am related to the vast here..
I would have thrown in the Sunny 36 and then their CC boats for Sunny. Mainly I am talking about about brand new totally new bottom designs like what sea vee did and all their testing within say 2009 to current. The one video I posted only shows a small part of it. Sunny already had stepped hulls so they had a base to start with. outerlimites had stepped hulls way back as well, Im am talking about mainly a boat company or a brand new boat company that brought to market within the last 9 years that was NEVER a stepped hull design ever. . Started from base one, had to do the old school testing and tweaks many times after the fact to get it dialed in completely. Alot of companies already had steps so they had info and real world facts to go off of beforehand. The 39 Rockit by hustler and the 29 by them could be thrown into the mix for redoing their stepped hulls but again they had stepped hulls from the 80 s.. I was just saying and have to give Sea Vee alot credit for not throwing steps into their V hulls without doing real world leg work testing and improving on it. If I recall it was over a year of testing.for them. |

if that’s a nortech cat...your theory is wrong. Bunks don’t sit on sponsons. Boat is supported on the tunnel which doesn’t have steps. |

Fascinating SeeVee flick.
Basically what they're saying is 'We've finally designed a safe stepped bottom hull' |
