These are the original tabs the boat had, custom made by Steve Stepp. Not sure if it slowed the boat down any as it set the world record at the time so they should work for us now. However, if it seems like they are hurting more than helping I'm sure Steve will look at changing them somehow, he's going to wring every last mph out of this thing

These boats have a big almost flat pad they are gentle at 75 mph and anything but at 85 MPH. In the proper hands they can be very fast and accelerate.
This particular boat has an added strake down low that feeds the pad and a more gradual transition from V to pad that makes the running surface longer.
By most accounts it is/was the best running 30 ever.

What a great job you did on the boat. What kind of paint did you use on the top and what was the white on the bottom.
Thanks, good luck with the boat. I have a 1986 22 Velocity that needs to look like that.
