That hull has to be efficient with the variable dead rise with added air steps in it like a fountain, rybo runners, and many others that have started using this design.

Thank you! The ride is fantastic as you would expect from a VDR hull. It runs so quite it's eery, all you hear in choppy conditions is the engine, wind and whoosh from the water landing back onto itself way back behind the boat. Oh and soooooo smooooooth with very little vertical acceleration felt. 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.

I think we are seeing another leap in evolution...
I almost wish I hadn't seen it - I love it.

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.

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.

Thank you... No, the race hull is still sitting patiently waiting.
