Steplift First ride
I have a confession to make; today was my first ride in a Steplift! A bit of a chop, wind from S/E , cool/cloudy.
The water here is still too cold for stripers (50 * F). We are probably 2 weeks behind the NY/NJ Folks. I have to say very pleased with the V20. Took the chop well, very comfortable. Looking forward to a great season! We are lovin' the Steplift-nice ride!

Congrats on the first ride. Great looking boat. Nice pics... thank you for the boat porn. :) If you don't have them already, I would suggest trim tabs. They make a world of difference on the ride of these boats.

Bill, The boat looks great!! You will enjoy it for years to come. My cousin bought a 1973 V new and he still has it. I have loved the looks ever since. so much so that I have had 4 of them. Good luck with yours.

I will likely run the boat for a while and decide on tabs. We had them on our Grady and agree they helped quite a bit.
Thanks to all for the assistance on this project! Looking forward to a great season. Bill
