They have had a few twin step 32s go dancing and they all seem to look like this
Maybe their CG balance gets changed/disrupted over the hull steps?

I don't know how fast he was going, but I do know that all the 32 Sunsations I've rode in with bigger power don't handle very well at all over 90 mph. Lots of chine walk to them at the plus 90 mph speeds. I'm glad the 2 of them only had minor injuries for the ride they were on.
