Default Re: whats a stepV hull

Agree with what Chum' said. While the bow entry has a sharper V, the keel is rounded and flatter at the transom. I'm not sure if it's technically a keel pad or not. But with decent horsepower and generally flatter water in the fresh, you can probably run as fast as the hull can practically go. The Chesapeake Bay can be flat as a lake sometimes and there's nothing better than dialing in the engine trim to lift the bow up so the hull's running up and out of the water (without porpoising).
