If I remember correctly a few years ago at the smoke on the water poker run in grand haven a guy did something similar on a Outerlimits after he blew past the card stop and it was a bad deal causing a couple deaths

YUP, No trimming down while turning a stepped hull.

You are right, not Kid but the ladies!:drink:

:eek:trying to laser burn that image out of my memory...

it was a new owner and an outerlimits rep... its a shame... and they shut it down shortly after, wish they would get another run goin in replacement

Ya know, I have always driven anything I have owned by feel and my senses if you get my meaning. I am always listening, smelling and trying sense any feeeling I am getting from what ever I am driving. IN my old non step you could feel it needed to be trimmed in to corner or it would blow out, or you hear the motor reving and yet slowing down. I was not posting the original comment in a bad way as I am sorry to hear that others dont have the respect needed to handle some things as others do, but more looking for feed back from some others and a dos and donts type thing.

All in good fun though.

Hey where is Waldo...I mean Uncle Kevin is he mia?????

Right. I completely understand what your goin for here. That was the first thing that came to mind because I was there that weekend. Not participating but partying and spectating.

:eek:

Thought you might like that.:drink:

when you tuck the drives all the way in(trim down)you lift the transom up and put the weight of the boat on the bow,
you can do that on a V bottom boat
on a step bottom boat some of the transom is allready out of the water because of the steps and the air under there and if you trim down and turn the front of the hull is going to dig in the water and since the back of the boat is light it will hook and spin.
You allways want the weight of the boat in the back on a step bottom on turns
