I wouldn't ride in it if you pulled it off!
and it would probably be cheaper to sell the straight bottom boat at repo prices and pay retail for a boat that was built stepped.

there was a fountain 33 that started life as a straight bottom boat but GREAT LAKECASTERS I think it was after a few seasons racing and to run against harry in his OUTERLIMITS 37 and Phantom 34 both stepped bottom they stepped there boat so there is at least ONE
that was done but your right about cg being reset it would be cheaper to buy a newer hull. you just need to make more power or better drive height.

I think Doug had more $$$$ in the bottom of that boat than the whole boat and power combined. I think Dave Goodman at Tiger Fiberglass and Marine in Marysville, MI did the bottom. I believe that this boat has the most checkered flags in Offshore racing 50+? It is also the Yardarm boat. Jeff Haylett (sp)
