No steps.... but it looks just like this.... hmmm..... time to take your medicine again LPA....

Common DR - the pictures in your imagination don't always match the picture of someone else's boat...

I guess if I squint my eyes a bit, the steps sort of blur into the rest of the hull....

See...Keep squinting. You'll see the Torque V-12s in that Scarab too

dockrocker

Now it's clear! Triple supercharged and turbocharged Torque V-12's feeding into a custom dual turbine system hooked to 2 dry-sump #6's and a pair of prototype Arneson surface drives via a modified 4x4 transfer case used in Caterpiller front-end loaders. The transfer case spreads the torque (no pun intended) from the five motors across all four drives.

And the straight V hull ensures there are no pesky bubbles to mess up the show!

said it looks like this...no steps

this is not my boat..the boss got it ....I haven't been in it...etc

...my views haven't changed..still love Fountains and Cig now more to my reccent research...probably my 2 fav's for now

LPA2106

.....I look at boats like cars...the first time I took a 911 porsche on the track I didn't listen...you have to floor it in the apex of a turn ..no backing off..engine in rear...stepped boats just handle differently...

I am still ticked that the 502's were forged cranks and now the 496's are not...(assuming the Mm tech was right) ..I am checking this out further...seems like a step backwards...

LPA2106

well the tech said if I used RP under warranty and had a problem they would not cover it...maybe he didn't know
