    I like that "Crazy Moves" comment. How many stepped hulls have you driven now?

    Steps.. Non steps... Charlie is one of the best drivers out there. Boats or cars.

    You should take a ride with him in his Turbo Porsche!

    Yep, that's why it makes me curious as to how many different stepped boats he's driven. It seems like every one I've been in handles a bit differently, especially in hard cornering, so was gonna try to pick his brain on the best one in his opinion, and why.......

    Are you pretty happy with the way it corners compared to some of the stepped Vee's out there?

    I never had a problem with turning it.
    Had it for about 3 years.
    Lots of running it in all kinds of water.
    I live in Florida so it's all year boating.
    I've never driven a T/S other than this one.
    Keep the nose up and it turns beautiful every time.
