As a complete side note , wasn't the development of the stepped hull taken from the pontoons on seaplanes ? (And that was a loong time ago) |
I didn't know gold rush slid off the trailer!! amazing to think a boat that heavy couldn't slide off a bunk trailer..... |

American Muscle 3 took a ride down I95 but that was more of a jackknife = launch! Shogren had an orange MTI get launched off the trailer too......think that was ice + guardrail = roadside. |

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 |

Boats with multi-step hulls are much more likely to send you swimming than a straight bottom or single step boat...
...so you got that going for you on a hot day; which is nice. Attachment 575991 |

How many of these companies are spending the money to build and test a plug with new designs, prior to building the mold and going into production?

In good times I'm sure a few do, in down times the original hull is probably sold to customers (whether good or bad design, remember the 4-5 single step Cigarettes or the original 29 OL's). |
