    Every AT hull is turned upside down and blue printed. This practice has been going on for 6 years. As far as a light lay-up, been there and done it. The other guys can do it. I don't run on rivers and lakes.

    Yes, he did. And also expressed he would not be out there in anything less his 37 AT. I think he has some YouTube videos somewhere.

    That is a nice service to the customer to blue print every hull, let's face it the customers are paying big money for these boats.

    The step is an independant mold and a each boat has the opportunity to have the step changed for each particular boat. If we have a loaded (heavy) cabin we can move the step forward and make it longer to balance the boat. If we have a 700 boat running 100+ mph we make the step shorter which changes the way the water hits the running surface in front of the transom.

    Keep in mind we've been using this design for better than 10 years now and really understand how it works and what we can do to adjust it to make each boat run her very best.

    That's what gives you this:

    Nice running attitiude. That's how you want to see a boat fly! Pat, you took a buddy of mine out on Radioactive several years back in some true 6 - 8's on a day a storm was coming in. He was very impressed!

    Yes i was serious untill ACTIVE THUNDER ,explained the situation because 99.9 % of the time your hull is only as good as the tooling on the plug from which the mold is made .

    I remember PQ having to massage a lot of their 38 hulls straight out of the mold.
