Oh and soooooo smooooooth with very little vertical acceleration felt. Since the transverse steps are being ventilated from the longitudinal steps and the chine there's little to no opportunity to bury the steps in a high speed turn which causes many stepped bottom boats to lose ventilation on the inboard side and swap ends. With that Etec 250ho I've seen 71.6 mph with two guys and about 50 gallons of fuel but know there is more speed available with the proper prop and lighter load.
She has two steps per side not like mine, yours and GFS's Moesly race hulls.

Just too awesome, it don't get much better than this. That is defiantly a unique designed hull as well as beautiful.
By the way, have you done anything to your old Moesly hull yet? I have finished some testing with mine and started taking it apart.
