...new pad bottom arc...

Wow, lots of CNC cut void free ply. Beginning of a Inner liner mold? That recess in the back might be for a Sea-keeper or a big Radial Flux electric motor. All those compartments up front with slide in side access installation holes are interesting. Wonder if that is going to get scanned at the mold maker for a 3D printed liner or some kind of foam mold for a lost foam mold process. Would like to see what it turns into. Thanks for posting.

Great for flat water speed but in the rough stuff a padless hull with less lift stays in the water. Nothing new here. Earl Bentz spent some time at lake X in the mid '70's developing this concept for bass boat hulls. There are at least three people that try to take credit for the step transom.

Holy full length strakes batman! AND a large number of them. Built for xstream lift and carving corners at high speed with no sliding out. I like it. I like it a LOT.

I believe it’s the new 430 CC based on retooled 41’ Steve Stepp hull. Scott McCormick has been working on for a few years now.

I don’t doubt that a sharp. Would ride better, but speed sells

A big v-hull with a sharp or rounded bottom with no pad would roll bad enough to need stabilizers. This hull prob. will not need them. Plus the weight is over the stern. Also needs a ton of lift aft to make the bow go down at speed with tripps.
