PatchyFog Posted April 8, 2022 Report Share Posted April 8, 2022 The top two are of the 44' Contender owned by Goose Hummocks Shop. They also have a 39'. That's over a million dollar boat originally. There's 4 new Yammy 425's on the 44 this year. The last is a stock photo of a 54' showing off the stepped hull. JRT 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It introduces air to the running surface to reduce friction and thus increase speed. Really only comes into play over 50, some say 60 mph. It also sets the trim of the boat, you will notice significantly reduced bow rise out of the hole. Edited April 8, 2022 by makorider Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you flip over out in the water and start to sink….you can walk up the steps to higher ground.
