fountain boats
anyone have a step hull powerboat?
Id like to know if the new step hulls like in the Fountain boats really live up to there claims, about mileage stability and speed, if so can you explain how they work as compared to a regular v hull?
Sure, a step hull creates lift by creating an air pocket under the hull. The more lift and less boat you have in the water creates more speed.
No there are down sides to a step hull in smaller boats. They create a "slap sound" in that void in the hull. It isn't LOUD, but you can hear it. Also, when you go to turn it isn't the smoothest. Think about it......there is less hull and the boat will "roll" a little more. Now, these are mostly for 23ft and under and it isn't a huge problem, but something to consider.
On larger offshore boats it does help more because of the weight of the boat. Hence that's why they do it.......to help lift the heavy boat.
Hope that helped.

Fountain Powerboats - Construction
Fountain power boat hulls" answer was good except"?
This answer was great, but I cant get in touch with or as more information about it , the person who answered sounds very knowledgeable about hulls. I think these boats need incredible power to plan off also in comparison to a Bay liner V hull is the Bayliner V hull just as efficient with a smaller engine>?? [Sure, a step hull creates lift by creating an air pocket under the hull. The more lift and less boat you have in the water creates more speed.
No there are down sides to a step hull in smaller boats. They create a "slap sound" in that void in the hull. It isn't LOUD, but you can hear it. Also, when you go to turn it isn't the smoothest. Think about it......there is less hull and the boat will "roll" a little more. Now, these are mostly for 23ft and under and it isn't a huge problem, but something to consider.
On larger offshore boats it does help more because of the weight of the boat. Hence that's why they do it.......to help lift the heavy boat.
Hope that helped.
You are talking about two totally different hull designs. The Fountain is designed for high speed and performance. The Bayliner is more for family boating and comfort. The hulls were designed for different things and the power requirements are much different. It's a little like comparing a Viper with a Sebring, the power requirements and the suspension are much different. So it is with those boats.
