    Bloom sold it within the last year to the guy who traded the Gladiator with the Sterlings in it. Grand Sport Center sold it new.

    Well technically you need to trim a step boat out during a turn otherwise the step will act as a pivot point and throw your a$$ in the drink!!!!

    The ones I have run you leave the trim where you run it going straight. The days of trimming in to turn are over.

    It can happen fast. I experienced my first spin out in a Fountain last weekend. Operator has many hours of seat time. We were pushing it hard but the actual spin caught us all by surprise.

    I will debate that with you....I have tried it every which way possible.....I have slid them around a bit leaving it that way so I actually try to lift the step out just a bit but again the trim isnt the whole equation you still have to drive it....not point it but drive it and drive the balls off of it!!!! It responds well when you drive the balls off of it!!!!
