Would someone please list the years of 32 fevers & 35 lightnings, when steps started. Single and then twin step.
Thanks

I think singles started in 1995 and twins in 2001?

The 35 had steps in 1995. I have a 1995 with a step. Here is a link to a 1996 with a step.

Do the "big step" boats run much betterand/or faster than the small step boats?

Marginmn

they are suppose to run 2 - 4 mph faster with the same power but you sacrifice some turning ability.

(JMPH)is on the money. But I have seen 1997 35's with a single large step. I have also measured the steps in relation to the distance to the transom and found thay my have been moving the steps in that way also. Had a 1995 -35 lightning with completely stock 502 mpi's that ran 80 mph on radar in the Lake Ozark Shootout (1999) and in the same year there was 3 other 35's with single large steps all ran a best of 77 mph on radar and one 35 in the class above me with a single large step and hp-500's that ran a best of 79 mph and won his class .What I do know is that for the buck Fountain is the fastest best riding and handling V I have been in or owned!
