Default FasTech Differences

Does anybody know what changes Formula made to the hulls since 1997? Specifically the 382. I was reading a review in which the author said that the new Formula 38's have the least uncertain handling characteristics of the stepped hull boats. Just wondering if the older ones perform as well.

1997 was the new fastech hull but with a black dash...1998 the interior (dash) turned white.......other than paint and vinyl they haven't changed a thing since.

This is some what true..

1997 was a different stringer system than 1998 thru 2008. Not saying it is bad, it is just different than the one piece system they use today.

The dash changed a little in 2000 or 2001. Small changes though....

You mean Fas3tech is just marketing?
