I know this has been discussed here but I am new-ish member. This thread reminds me of a question I've been meaning to ask. Is the "Sailfish" design a knockoff of the Seacraft VDR hull? Has anyone driven one?

"Our exclusive, patented, Variable Degree Stepped (VDS) Hull provides the smoothest ride of any fishing boat on the market. Its unique design actually features three distinct running surfaces; the first, with a deep deadrise that cuts through the water and two others that provide for lift and stability. "
