Well as you already know, they were introduced many moons ago on the sponsons of water planes etc... As far as the new generation though.. I think it was Donzi?
I'm not a super huge fan of step bottoms anyways ssoooo there ya go.

Who were the first manufacturers of v-bottoms with stepped hulls? I'm not talking the obscure one-off stuff from wayyy back. It seems that somewhere between the 80's and the 00's the transition was made with the "mainstream" performance v-bottoms like Cigarette and Fountain.
So, anyone know who and when the trendsetters finally got it right?

Ya see the new Cobra ad in the mag claiming they developed a v with sponsons....
I heard Eliminator had a lot to do with it straight from the horses mouth!!!! But, they don't claim they invented it on V bottoms. I have a step hull and am happy
I heard it was Regie Fountain

huh? Is that a tunnel that comes to a V in the front like the Hallett 260AC, the old Eliminator Edge (I think they called it that?) and or the 23/24' Cheetahs??

NO It's a cobra.

Fountain didn't start using step hulls till 1994. Advantage had a step on their 27' in 1991.
So was it eliminator that??
