stepping The hull
 
On older off shore boats, like the formulas is it possible to step the hull like the new ones?

Would this cause structural problems, and if its possible would it be worth it?

Sure, go right ahead:greenchainsaw::confused:

Come on bill..it's fiberglass, anything is possible. But if your not a good glassman it's going to cost you mucho dinero

Not worth it IMO.

I maintain it's not possible. CG's change etc etc etc. I think you'd be nuts to attempt that. AND can you imagine what that would cost??

If you want a stepped boat, buy one that came from the mold that way.

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:eek: 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.
