Steps seme to be less forgiving when pushed hard turning . I like running flat and loose with them , that part works for me . I even owned a 100mph turbo Fountain back in the 80's ,maybe you remember those . Learned then always some one faster , I am just tring to have fun and be safe . Willing to give up some speed for better handling . For the record I liked my Fountain , well made had lots of fun with it . Wish you the best with yours

Just goes to show you that most often it's driver error that causes this chit. Lucky they all walked/swam away. Any of these things can bite you, if you push the issue.

I do believe the saying is "You just can't fix Stupid".

And before anyone else says it...............38 Fountain. You heard it from me first. Just plain stupid to F up a nice boat like that.

I guess maybe you think all us Velocity guys will run out and buy step boats now . Considering your on a Velocity thread , don't expect that to happen. Glad you like yours ,I'm happy with mine.
