Pretty sure the blue 43 is for sell right now. Its a strange beast, twin 600SCI's with bravos.

Good vid where you can see how stepped boats turn. It’s riding on a center of pressure up where the steps are and pivoting around that, the rear end appears to be sliding.

Sooooooo sexy.

Black boat is my favorite - anyone know the story of where it is today? I know the blue boat has changed hands a few times and is currently for sale.

That is exactly how my Donzi turns. Boat stays pretty flat, rear end moves right or left and you are pointed in a new direction.

I think a lot depends on the step/hull designs. My formula 382 turns more like a non-step boat. I dont notice any rear end turn out even in tight turns.

I'm sure it varies. I should also have said it turns like that when the steps are working. Meaning, I'm running 45+. Below that it turns like any other V.
