The flat hulls were jumping up and down but the stepped hulls were running fast and straight.

Amazing. Dirtbike motor and a sheet of plywood. The vet I used to work told stories of him and his brother building similar boats that ran on hopped up 5hp outboards running them on the rappahanock river back in the day. I also liked the fact they were all mud motors.
